Should orchids be grown indoors or outdoors?

1. Sunlight

It is best to grow orchids indoors. Their native habitat is in the dark broad-leaved forest, so they have a certain shade tolerance. They can be placed in a bright place indoors. This can ensure that there is light and provide shade in the summer. It is relatively flexible, which can extend the life of the orchid and make it grow better, as long as it is not placed in a dark place all the time. If it is kept outdoors all the time, the sunlight is too strong. If there is nothing to block it, it may directly shine on the leaves and cause burns.

2. Temperature

In terms of temperature, if it is kept outdoors all the time, it can still grow in the south. If it is in the north, the temperature in winter is too low and it may cause frostbite. Therefore, even if it is usually kept outdoors, it must be moved indoors after autumn.

3. Environmental aspects

The environment outside is more complicated, and there may be heavy rain and strong winds. If not handled in time, it will cause damage to the plants, which may cause waterlogging and root rot, or the wind may blow the plants crooked, and the leaves will be covered with a layer of dust, affecting the appearance of the plants. Place it at a relatively low temperature indoors, just be careful not to place it too close to the air conditioner or heater.
