I don't know if you have heard of this plant. It belongs to Orchidaceae. It looks beautiful. Now many people have bought this kind of plant and have to put it at home. Most people like to breed it on the balcony, but some people don't know how to do it. Let's elaborate on this method.

1. Culture medium

We want to raise it, first of all, we need to understand what it needs to adhere to. Generally speaking, the medium we give it is water grass and bryophytes.

2. Temperature

We need to keep it on the balcony and keep the temperature. Because it loves the environment with high temperature and humidity, so we guarantee that there are such environmental conditions on the balcony. Summer balconies are easy to meet this point, but winter balconies are not. So we can put it in a place where it can be used for heat preservation. In addition, in summer, if the temperature on the balcony is too high, we can also cool it down. Once the temperature is over 32, it is easy to cause it to go into sleep. Of course, if you can guarantee the temperature of the balcony in winter, it is not a problem to put it here

3. Water

Because its original place of growth is in the forest, where the fog is rich and the temperature is relatively high. It has no place to store nutrients all the time, so we need to give it enough humidity so that its leaves won't wrinkle. In addition, we need to keep it on the balcony and keep it hydrated. In summer, we only need to water at 9:00 and 17:00 every day, while in spring and autumn, we only need to water at 5:00.

In addition, the frequency can be reduced moderately in winter, about once a week, and the specific time can be set at 10 o'clock in the morning. If there is still a cold wave, it must be well protected. During this period, there is no need to water. The requirement of each watering is to make the water temperature close to the air. If the tap water is used, it needs to be dried in advance. Assuming that the environment is dry, we can use spray. In addition, we should pay attention that if it is in the flowering period, we must not get water on the flowers

4. Light

When the light condition of balcony is better, we'd better not let it face the sun.
