How to grow black orchid on the balcony in summer

soil

First of all, suitable soil should be prepared for the growth of Mo Lan. Generally, slightly acidic soil with humus should be selected to ensure the air permeability of the soil. Because the temperature is high and stuffy in summer, loose soil will be more conducive to the breathing of the plant roots.

flowerpot

The choice of flower pots is also very important. Only good flower pots can grow good plants. We should choose clay pots or sand pots. Such pots have good air permeability and water dispersion, and they will not look too low-end no matter where they are placed. Generally, the flowerpots for growing black orchids are trumpet-shaped, made of purple clay with holes at the bottom, which makes them look more beautiful.

illumination

Mo Lan likes places with plenty of light. In summer, it can be placed on the balcony to grow. Always spray a certain amount of water mist around it to maintain the humidity of the surrounding environment. Avoid strong light to avoid damaging the leaves of the black orchid. Appropriate shading can be beneficial to its growth, because Mo Lan does not like direct exposure to strong light.

temperature

In summer, the temperature should be controlled below 30 degrees and above 20 degrees. Once the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the Mo Lan will enter passive dormancy, which will affect its growth. If the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, the growth rate of the Mo Lan will be reduced, affecting the development of the Mo Lan. This is a very bad phenomenon, so we should pay attention to controlling the temperature at which the Mo Lan grows.
