Fresh air cure for free - How to keep orchids outside
Fresh air and mild sunshine act on your orchids like a vitalizing cure. Popular species such as lady slipper orchids (Cymbidium) or pansy orchids (Miltonia) like to spend the summer on the balcony. Find out how to properly care for orchids outside here.
The right location under the open sky
So that your orchids can enjoy the summer stay in the fresh air carefree, the location wants to be chosen with care. These framework conditions are desirable:
On a pedestal, a flower shelf or a chair and under the protection of an awning, the exotic flower beauties feel in good hands. Here you can gather fresh energy in the summer for the next flowering season.
A place at dizzy tree height is welcome orchids
If you hang your orchids in a tree in the summer, the exotic flowers will feel like home. Most of the plants in the rainforest sit on branches, where they cling to their roots. Please make sure that the orchid is under a protective canopy and that water can run off unhindered.
The perfect care program for outdoors
In the open air, the weather has a greater influence on the care of orchids than in living rooms or the conservatory. This is especially true for a balanced water supply. How to do it right:
If the air humidity rises in the early or late summer and the morning dew wets leaves and aerial roots, you can save the spraying of orchids. During dry-hot summer periods, plants will not survive without a daily morning mist.
Tips
Special care needs to be taken to ensure that your cold-sensitive Phalaenopsis enjoy the fresh air in summer. Perfectly protected from pattering rain, blazing sun and cold draft, the orchids are in a partially open summer cottage, as used for example for tomato plants.
