The orchids in summer
Most orchids depend entirely on the light they are to flower, but there are few who bear direct light. July and August are the months for murderers who are not careful.
Even the Cymbidium, who loves above all direct light and in need as long as it lasts, will support the amplification offered by the glass of your window. If you own this orchid, place it outside or open your window. You will know quickly if your orchid has exceeded the threshold of tolerance, these sheets will be lined with red spots, and there would be almost too late. Watch closely.
If the cymbidium is the extreme example in the sun, the phalaenopsis is the exact opposite; protect it up. It burns so easily that you would not have time to notice it if you do not see the point was his nose. The warning, which comes almost too late, is black and yellow leaves that invade. Ideally, dim your room with a curtain against your window. The cattleya follows in this sense, it needs sun but as his accomplice phalaenopsis, then give him only that morning, he will offer them more than enough without hurting them.
So, check the needs of the species you have, all the conditions are different for each. The summer seems difficult for some to spend, and many times the winter can also be fatal. If you do not pay child care, you can drown the plant to rot or the lack of heat added to the lack of ventilation. Even if you have slowed watering, please check that there is no water remaining in the pot, stagnation leads easily rot the roots of orchids. And that what kind it may be and no matter the humidity: Summer or winter, in the end, nothing beats vigilance.
