Orchids are one of the most aesthetic plants for the home, so almost every person has this flower at home or even at work.
However, it is important to provide orchids with certain conditions: only in this case will they live long and look decent.
There are, of course, a lot of nuances, but it is worth first following three main rules, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What do they consist of?
Choose worthy orchids
First of all, it is worth initially choosing orchids of good quality. Often such can be found in specialized stores, but you can also find good specimens in supermarkets.
An important condition is that you can initially assess the condition of the root system. If everything is in order with it, then the plant is healthy and will be able to please you with its beauty for many years.
Don't rush into replanting
Some people make a big mistake when they first start to deal with the issue of transplantation: this is not how it should be done.
It is important to first wait until the flowering process is over and the flower stalk itself becomes dry.
After this, the orchid can be offered a new "home".
Comfortable conditions
It is worth remembering that the optimal temperature for an orchid is no more than 24 degrees. The plant also needs a certain level of humidity: do not forget that the natural habitat of the flower is the tropics.
There is no need to "flood" the plants with water: the orchid does not like this. Fertilizers should also be applied according to the schedule.
