When is the best time to move orchids indoors

Orchids generally need to be moved indoors for care on rainy days, to avoid waterlogged roots; when the outdoor temperature is high they should also be moved indoors, keeping the temperature constant between 19°C and 23°C; in summer the light is strong, so orchids should be moved indoors to avoid yellowing leaves; when guests come, they can also be moved indoors, as they have an air-purifying effect.

1. Rainy days

Orchids are highly adaptable and are usually kept outdoors for care; however, their roots are prone to waterlogging, so on rainy days they should be moved indoors promptly; in light drizzle they can be kept outdoors for care, and orchids also very much like to grow in places with high humidity.

2. High temperatures

When the outdoor temperature exceeds 35°C, they need to be moved indoors for care; keep the indoor temperature constant between 19°C and 23°C, and spray water mist appropriately to increase the humidity around the plant, keeping air humidity above 60% as much as possible, which allows orchids to grow better.

3. Strong light

Orchids like light, but in summer when the light is strong, they need to be moved indoors promptly to prevent sun scorching, which causes the leaves to wither and turn yellow; they can be placed by a window to receive indirect light, which makes the leaves even more emerald green and bright.

4. When guests come Orchids are highly ornamental plants; when relatives and friends come to visit, orchids kept outdoors can be moved indoors to increase the indoor ornamental appeal; orchids can also absorb toxic gases indoors, achieving an air-purifying effect, and give guests a refreshing and mind-clearing effect after smelling them.

5. Low temperatures In the cold winter, orchids need to be moved indoors; the temperature where the plant grows must not be lower than 5°C, so that the orchids do not freeze to death; in winter the air is relatively dry and ventilation is poor, so when growing them indoors, the air circulation should also be appropriately increased.
