Can white orchids be planted in the garden?

1. Can it be planted in the courtyard?

From the perspective of Feng Shui, it cannot be planted in the yard because its flowers are white, and white represents mourning. Chinese people do not like to plant white flowers in the yard. They would rather leave the tree in the yard, forming a "trapped" character, which has a negative impact on Feng Shui. But if you don't care about Feng Shui, you can certainly plant it. Its flowers are very white and usually bloom in summer and autumn. They are very fragrant and have a long flowering period. The leaves are very green and very beautiful.

2. How to maintain

1. Soil

If it is planted in a potted form, you should choose soil that is loose enough and very breathable, and it is best if it has more humus. Generally, a clay pot or a plastic pot with more drainage holes is used to grow it. It is best to have some particles of different sizes in the soil at the bottom of the pot to help it breathe and remove excess water.

2. Location

In March and April every year, move it outside and place it in an area with plenty of sunlight. The summer is quite hot, so you can build a shade shed for it according to the actual situation, so that it can receive the morning sun and avoid the strong light in the afternoon. If it is exposed to the sun, the leaves and branches will easily be burned. When it rains continuously in the fall or there are thunderstorms in the summer, you should place it in a sheltered area, otherwise the roots will rot due to excessive water accumulation. It needs to be exposed to the sun in winter, and to prevent it from being frostbitten, it is best to wrap a layer of plastic film on its pot.

3. Pruning

If it is in the form of a potted plant, you need to keep it at an appropriate height and use scissors to remove the top buds and side branches. Removing the top buds can help it bloom more and grow more side branches, making it more lush and more upright.

3. Feng Shui Taboos

1. If you plant this kind of flower in the courtyard, you must pay attention that it cannot be planted in the open field. In Feng Shui, this means that the women in the family will cheat, affecting their relationship.

2. It is a yin flower, so its roots cannot extend underground in the home, otherwise it will easily attract yin objects. This is also something that requires attention.
