How to grow orchids in summer

1. Be sure to avoid direct strong light

In summer it is very easy to scorch orchid leaves, so you must shade orchids and protect them from the sun. You can hang up bamboo blinds or a shade net; if you use a shade net, it is best to use two layers - when the light is weak in the morning, cover with one layer, and at noon when the light is strong, cover with two layers.

2. Maintain a ventilated environment

If there is no ventilation in summer, orchids very easily break out with stem rot, black spot disease and so on. Besides paying attention to opening windows for air, or using an electric fan to blow air and increase air circulation, you should also pay attention to the breathability of the flower pot, so that the orchid roots do not develop disease due to poor breathing.

3. Pay attention to watering

In summer the evaporation is large, so watering needs attention; you can water by combining root drenching, misting and the soaking-pot method. Water in the early morning or evening, and it should not be too much. In short, water when dry and stop when wet, with the principle of being moderately on the dry side.
