How to grow orchids at home: tips for the most beautiful flowers

Growing flowers in the house is not easy. Not all species are adapted to temperatures domestic and closed environment, but there are exceptions. Fortunately for us, the orchids are beautiful flowers that, although originating in the tropics are divided into different variants to suit the temperature of the house and can live well and flourish in even the most regular exposure and as diverse as temperature.

Gardening should not be charged for air force, did not you know? The important thing is to choose the species of orchid that is closest to our needs and the environment in which we decided to place it. To help us choose, there is the natural selection of species in trade, which are usually the easiest to treat: the Phalaenopsis orchid also known as Butterfly us enchant you with its elegance and for the multitude of colors and varieties, and then your flowers will last at least 3 months, which makes it perfect to be exposed at home: the pansy orchid, also known as Cambria or Milton resembles the pansies, while the Paphiopedilum is called slipper and, together with Oncidium, the 'orchid dancer, housewives are the major species.

Growing so beautiful, we will have solved the problem of how to keep fresh flowers, do not you? Take a pot - maybe after we learned how to decorate a clay pot, we can use a custom - and appoggiamolo upside down (with the large ground) in a container is not very high or a bowl of water. At the top we place the jar containing the orchid we bought.

Otherwise, fill the container expanded clay on clay and placed the plants in their pots, so they can always have adequate moisture. The pot with the orchid should not ever be exposed to direct sunlight, but always in a bright room without direct sunlight. Make sure that the temperature is never higher than 22-23 ° and you have to water them once every 2-3 days, just enough so the soil is always damp.

Just after flowering, thin out even more watering because the plant has entered a period of rest. The advice is do not ever take excessive behavior - too much sun, too hot or too cold, too much water or too little - because orchids are very delicate flowers that must be kept in great care.

The attention we pay to them will be rewarded with the elegant beauty of flowers and will be a feast for the eyes!
