Orchideele are monocotyledonous plants of the family Orchidaceae, including about 20,000 to 35,000 and 40,000 species of hybrids. Except for the polar areas, orchids grow in spontaneously in all climatic zones of the world, about 60 species are widespread in Europe and 140 in the U.S. and Canada. The vast majority of orchids are found in Asia.

Keep the temperature at which the orchids should be appropriate climate zone of origin.

Species which grow in warm climates, have low nocturnal temperature by 7-12 °C than that in the day, which is 25 °C 20 °C in summer and winter.

Do not be positioned too close to the window so that leaves too much heat, and should avoid exposure to air currents.

Terrestrial orchids without bulbs and thin leaves do not need direct sunlight.

Epiphytic orchids farthe bulbs and leaves the meat does not support large excess sunlight.

Orchids with well developed bulbs and large leaves coriacee not need direct sun until flourishing period.

Orchids with large bulbs and leaves thin striated adapt well to high light intensity.

Orchids with thin leaves and large bulbs coriacee love the sun

In general, orchids grow well in bright conditions by 6000 and 10,000 lux.

Humidity should be 60-70% in ideal conditions. For an increase in moisture, leaves sprayed with distilled water (not sprayed flowers), place pots with water in pots of orchids or associated with the plant family Araceae and Bromeliaceae. Keep away Merel, which if bromeliaceelor stimulates flowering, if orchids produce flowers and buds fall.

Orchids love contact with water, but should not be stagnant, if not cause death putend plante. Water should be watered at ambient temperature, slightly acidic and sweet. Orchids not support limestone, except Cypripedium calceolus.

The best way of watering orchids is by immersing the pot in another pot with water, morning.

If watered too often leaves can ofilii roots rot or become blackish and make it dry.

Orchids are characterized by phases of growth and rest. Resting phase corresponds to the period of drought tropical, almost coinciding with the winter in temperate zones. If they are watered during this period, they will not produce flowers, but only isolates us.
