Which plant is better suited than the  orchid<\/strong>  to give your interior a touch of  elegance <\/strong>  and  color<\/strong>  ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This characteristic plant, native to tropical countries, is one of the most loved and hated at the same time: its  beauty<\/strong>  goes hand in hand with the  difficulties<\/strong>  of their  cultivation<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, having a healthy, thriving and beautiful orchid is not impossible. You just have to follow a series of tips<\/strong>  and pay  attention<\/strong>  to certain \/span>    .details<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many, however, make mistakes  that<\/strong>  can compromise the  beauty<\/strong>  and  the health<\/strong>  of the plant, without even realizing it and repeating the same gesture or incorrect behavior for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see which are the most common, so we can avoid them and keep our  orchid thriving<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baba mala <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most common mistake made by those who own this wonderful plant is to store it in a  dark plastic pot<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The  orchid roots, in fact, become<\/strong>healthier< a i=4>  and<\/strong>strong<\/strong>  if they are  affected <\/strong>directly <\/strong>  .transparent vase<\/strong>  . That is why it is useful to choose a  the light<\/strong>  by  <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually the seedling is already sold in this type of pot. If not, one of the first things you should do when you get it home is  replace<\/strong>  the  vase< \/span><\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, being transparent, it will be easier for you to check the condition of the roots and you will be able to detect any problems they have sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

direct light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another very common mistake: you put the  orchid<\/strong>  a  the light  <\/strong>direct<\/strong>  !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct sunlight  direct<\/strong>  is  more harmful to this plant, since it is used to the places Tropical plants, often <\/strong>are <\/strong>  overshadowed by larger plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you place the orchid in a location where it receives direct sunlight, its leaves can be damaged by too much light and too much heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the  buds<\/strong>  can ‘  burn<\/strong>  ‘ and stop flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first symptoms of excess light is the change in color of the  leaves<\/strong>  , which little by little begin to turn    .turn yellow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution? Put this plant in a  place  <\/strong>luminous<\/strong>  , but where the light reaches indirectly. For example, on a window sill facing north or south or with tempered glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low humidity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Humidity is paramount for your orchid to survive: keeping it in a location where it tends to be low and the air is dry means dealing with any wilting and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this plant, the optimal humidity level is not less than 60%. That is why it is important to store it in a humid place or room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, the wettest rooms in your home are the  bathroom<\/strong>  and the  kitchen< \/span><\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, on the other hand, the air in your house tends to be dry everywhere, you can resort to a very simple trick:  every 2-3 days<\/strong>  ,  spray<\/strong>  a little water  on<\/strong>  the foliage of your orchid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, the  plant<\/strong>  will benefit from an optimal humidity level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inappropriate fertilizer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fertilize without paying too much attention to the composition of the fertilizer: a very serious mistake that can cost the health of our orchid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plant, in fact, must be fertilized with specific products that have a greater amount of  nitrogen<\/strong>  than  phosphorus<\/strong>  and  potassium<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance is achieved when you follow the  30:10:10 formula<\/strong>  , which is 30 parts nitrogen to 10 parts phosphorus and 10 parts potassium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the supply of nutrients is unbalanced, the vegetative cycle of the plant can be altered, with serious consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also remember to follow the administration instructions specified for each fertilizer: generally, during  the hot months<\/strong>  , you must fertilize    . On the other hand, during the cold months, fertilizations should be suspended.every 2 weeks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too much water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because your orchid needs regular watering doesn’t mean it should be watered every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water needs of this plant vary depending on its  life cycle<\/strong>  and temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the cold months, therefore in autumn and winter, watering should really be reduced to a minimum: it is enough to keep the soil slightly moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it is  hot<\/strong>  , however, water more frequently. There is no rule,  water<\/strong>  when the  soil<\/strong>  is  < a i=7>dry  and is no longer wet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too dark environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like too much light, too much darkness  can<\/strong>  be  harmful<\/strong>  for your  orchid<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that you should never place this plant in a  blind bathroom<\/strong>  or any other place without natural light sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fear that the  summer light<\/strong>  will damage and eclipse them: in reality, this plant still has a great need for light. Always choose a place where  light<\/strong>  is  present<\/strong>  for several hours a day .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rule is particularly important to promote its flowering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
