In the world of flowers, orchids have won people's love for their elegant posture and unique aroma. However, many flower lovers are often confused about the environment in which orchids grow, especially their need for light: do orchids like yang or shade?
In fact, the orchid is neither a purely masculine nor an absolute masculine plant, but a semi-negative plant in between. This means that orchids need a certain amount of light to photosynthesize and generate the energy they need to grow, as well as the right shade to maintain their unique growth state.
In terms of light, orchids do not have the same strong need for sunlight as other masculine plants. Too much sunlight can damage the leaves of orchids, causing them to turn yellow or even sunburn. Therefore, during the summer heat, orchids need to avoid direct sunlight and choose to be exposed to scattered light or weak light. In winter, when the sunlight is relatively soft, the orchid can increase the light time appropriately to promote its normal growth.
In addition to light, orchids also need proper shade to grow. In a shady environment, the leaves of the orchid can remain green, and the flowers can be more vivid and long-lasting. Therefore, it is crucial to create an environment that is both light and shade during the maintenance of orchids. This can be done by adjusting the placement of the orchids, using shade nets or curtains, etc.
In addition, the temperature and humidity requirements of orchids cannot be ignored. Proper temperature and humidity can promote the growth of orchids, while too high or too low temperature and humidity can adversely affect the growth of orchids. Therefore, when maintaining orchids, in addition to paying attention to the balance of light and shade environment, it is also necessary to pay close attention to the changes in temperature and humidity to create a comfortable growth environment for orchids.
To sum up, the orchid is a semi-negative plant that needs both light and shade. When maintaining orchids, we should reasonably adjust the placement of orchids according to the changes in seasons and light intensity, create an environment with both light and shade, and pay attention to changes in temperature and humidity to create a comfortable growth environment for orchids. Only in this way can we appreciate the beautiful posture of the orchid's green and fragrant beauty.
