Why is it so important to know what air temperature is suitable for orchids in winter?
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh answers - you should start your acquaintance with the rules of growing exotic flowers in winter from this point, since all subsequent care depends on this information.
So, flowering plants should not experience stress, so the daytime air temperature should be 22 degrees Celsius.
The temperature on the thermometer at night should not fall below 15 degrees Celsius.
The same orchids that are in a dormant state will feel comfortable if the daytime air temperature is +15-16 degrees.
At the same time, you must not allow the thermometer to show less than +10 degrees at night.
These conditions are created specifically to ensure that there is no stimulus for growth activity, which in turn means that the flower will be able to rest during the winter months.
Important: in addition to the air temperature, the temperature of the substrate in which the roots are located is also important. It should be 2 degrees higher than the ambient temperature.
