Dryness Before During Period

ENVIRONMENT INSIDE

To increase humidity around our plants (orchids are or not) need the following materials:

* Plants that we will use, in this case are: Cattleya hybrid, and hybrid Potinara yoyo Laelia.


We will also need a plastic, glass or other material, that if you do not have holes in the background, in this case will use plant plastic plates of 25 cm diameter.


Finally
nesecitamos arlita or leka (expanded clay pellets) where I live with it this well ... (In Europe make it perfectly round!)

PROCEDURE
arlita Wash and place in bowl, then place water it will rise to the plant by evaporation, we must be vigilant when we or appends the water, because if it touches the pot instead of going through evaporation will rise by capillary action, the roots have much and, after 3 or 4 days we lose the plant root rot. Tabi
spray every so often helps.
Once this is done will something like this:


also may vary the elements to your liking, plastic instead of glass, and change the arlita for gems, shells, other types of stone, but that if! the water never touches the pot!!

AND FINALLY ....
AMERICA: If now that winter is heating using pay careful attention to humidity! he was not too dry environment plants, make this show and pulverize them so the plant often dehydrated.
And left out the orchids that are most sensitive, beware of frost! high humidity outside and cold, it also can kill them!
for Europe: the warm weather is coming!! do not let your orchids in ooms with air conditioning! hate them!
For You too! humidity and spray! and preparence to see them sprout and bloom!!
Greetings ..
