Anyone who loves plants will sooner or later end up adopting an Orchid<\/strong> !<\/p>\n\n\n\n This plant, whose most common variety is Phalaenopsis<\/strong><\/em> and can also be found in the supermarket, is easily recognizable by its flowers with a unique and bewitching appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, intense heat can stress your orchid<\/strong> , weakening it and, in severe cases, causing it to dry out. Let’s see how to recognize when this happens and how to behave<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s start by discovering the symptoms that tell us that our plant is suffering from too much heat<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certainly one of the first symptoms caused by high temperatures is the wilting of the flowers<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n These usually have a delicate but vigorous appearance at the same time. In the heat, however, they can appear droopy<\/strong> and floppy<\/strong> as if they have just been bathed and are weighed down by the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The appearance of spots on the leaves<\/strong> is also very common . These are often irregularly shaped <\/strong> and yellow-brown<\/strong> spots . They sometimes appear when, in addition to the excessive temperature<\/strong> , the sun<\/strong> is really intense<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rarely, spots may also appear on the petals<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not uncommon for the floral stem to also be affected by very hot temperatures<\/strong> . In these cases, it tends to become darker and<\/strong> drier ,<\/strong> woody and<\/strong> unhealthy-looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t forget that the floral stem<\/strong> is the stem that starts from the base of the plant and develops upwards, on which the flowers<\/strong> bloom .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now let’s see what to do if one or more symptoms<\/strong> of those we have just seen appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh I forgot!

I am waiting for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the different things you can do to make your orchid feel better, there is certainly watering it more<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, with the increase in temperatures, the orchid always needs a greater quantity of water. You can water from above<\/strong> or even from <\/strong> below<\/strong> , placing the plant with the entire pot in a basin<\/strong> with a few centimeters of water<\/strong> for about 10 minutes<\/strong> . Through the drainage holes<\/strong> at the bottom of the pot, the plant will absorb all the water it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another small but useful remedy is to move the plant to a cooler place<\/strong> . Consider that the orchid is used to a temperature between 18 and 28\u00b0C<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n If temperatures rise above 30\u00b0C <\/strong> he can really suffer a lot! Move it to a cooler place, perhaps on the veranda<\/strong> , in a very ventilated room or, but only if there is not too much light, even outdoors<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that the orchid should never be <\/strong> placed in direct sunlight<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fertilizing<\/strong> your orchid is a way not only to increase the extent of its flowering, but also to strengthen it<\/strong> , providing it with all the energy necessary to withstand the hot summer season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fertilization should begin in spring<\/strong> and continue until autumn. You can use a specific product based on nitrogen<\/strong> , phosphorus<\/strong> and potassium<\/strong> , but also some natural fertilizers <\/strong> that you perhaps already have at home, even if you don’t know it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, after preparing a good coffee, you can recover the powdered grounds<\/strong> from the moka , crumble them with your hands and spread them on the orchid soil. Being full of nitrogen<\/strong> , they will give your plant some energy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anyone who loves plants will sooner or later end up adopting an Orchid !
