How to choose a shed for nail orchids

Nail orchid room orientation

The orchid room should be located in a place facing east and back west. The southeast direction should be open and unobstructed, and there should be high walls or big trees in the northwest direction to provide appropriate shade.

Nail orchid room environment requirements

If you have a small yard at home, it would be a great idea to build a greenhouse. Choose a place with fresh air and relatively humid air. If the greenhouse is built on the roof or the balcony on the top floor of a building, it is necessary to provide shade from above and frequently sprinkle water on the surrounding ground to increase humidity.

Keep the floor in the greenhouse clean, remove dead flowers and leaves in time, and prevent the breeding of diseases and pests.

A clean water pool can be set up under the greenhouse, and the evaporation of water vapor can ensure the air humidity in the greenhouse.

Nail orchid room material requirements

If it is built in a small greenhouse, of course you can choose glass material, which is transparent so you can see what is going on inside. The "roof" should be made of materials that have good sun protection and poor heat conductivity, and curtains should be placed around it to provide appropriate shade when the sunlight is strong.

Maintenance methods of nail orchid in the orchid room

Having a greenhouse is good, but it does not mean that the nail orchid needs to be kept in the greenhouse all year round. In winter, when the outdoor temperature drops to 0℃, it is no longer possible to stay in the greenhouse. The nail orchid must be moved indoors for maintenance to prevent frostbite on the orchid roots. You can also take this opportunity to give the greenhouse a good clean-up.

If the weather is clear in winter, the temperature in the greenhouse can reach 15℃. The temperature will only drop on rainy days. There is no need to move the nail orchid indoors, you can directly heat the greenhouse. No heating is needed at night, just 5℃ is enough. Be careful not to heat the plant too high, as over 25°C will affect its growth.
