Floral ink on the windowsill - requirements for orchids at a glance
On the windowsill orchids catapult the floral decoration in elegant and elegant dimensions, far from the coarse-looking look of mother-in-law tongues in the 80s and 90s. Under which conditions the exotic flower beauties grow and thrive in this exposed situation, you will find out here.
Probate lighting and temperature conditions - tips for the right location
The most beautiful orchid species are native to the rainforests of this earth. In the humid-warm climate, they sit high on the branches, while the dense foliage canopy softens the blazing sun. The closer the conditions on the windowsill come to these criteria, the more vital are the royal flowers:
At the west and east windows the light requirement is perfectly covered. A place on the south window is conceivable, provided that a shading takes place at lunchtime, in the form of an awning or curtain. Some species, such as Dendrobium kingianum or Calanthe vestita, also accept the windowsill on the north side of the house.
Useful accessories facilitate the care
Regardless of which orchid your gardener's heart beats for, the maintenance on the windowsill is easier with this accessory:
If your orchid gets too hot on the sill in summer, a small air conditioner will cool you down. If this investment is too expensive, coat the planter with sphagnum. By keeping the moss wet continuously, the evaporating water cools the heated orchid a bit. At the same time, the humidity remains at a high level.
Tips
For almost every room of the house, there are adequate orchids to discover. For the bright, steam-saturated bathroom, the furious Vanda comes into focus. In the unheated, light-flooded bedroom, numerous lady's slipper varieties or Dendrobium nobile hybrids feel at home. Just ask the breeder to enjoy magnificent orchids in every living room.
