2. Temperature

The most suitable temperature is generally 16-24℃. The highest temperature in summer should not exceed 30℃, and the lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 5℃. It is best to cultivate it indoors to avoid frostbite of the orchid. 10-12℃ is appropriate during the day. If it is cultivated indoors, windows should be opened frequently to ensure air circulation.

3. Lighting

Orchids cannot be exposed to strong sunlight. They need to be shaded when the sunlight is strong and should not be exposed to sunlight for a long time. They can be exposed to scattered light in the morning or afternoon. It is best to place them on the eaves or balcony. They can be exposed to scattered light in winter, but they should also avoid direct sunlight.
