Today we go back on the light discussion from the other day and talk more on why some things are necessary in cultivation, as opposed to natural conditions in the wild.

Many times we get a bit torn between offering whatever nature would offer to orchids and what we offer. We always seem to 'pamper' our orchids rather than let 'nature' take its course. Well the thought is justified, but it's not necessarily correct because we are simply playing different games of the same genre.

Light is one of the things that we stress with the most. Should we protect orchids from sun, should we not, how much is too much? It all boils down to what would actually be harmful and in our game, the same light an orchid would receive in nature might be too much in our homes.

First the geographical location we are found is important. If we experience dramatic changes in winter and summer from the light point of view, this climate will induce a difference in the chemical ballance of an Orchid. More on it here [ Ссылка ]

An orchid in winter will not need the same protective compounds as in summer, so the problems will start in spring, when the orchid will need to gradually adapt to the way the sun rays fall on it. Too much of an abrupt change and the leaves will not handle the same heat they normally would. In natural habitats often times orchids don't deal with what some of us know as winter. The close to the Ecuator we are, the less change in season we will experience from the light perspective.

Other things that should be considered are temperature, air movement and humidity, which often times are very different in our homes or growing spaces.

So if the game changes, why do we feel we need to play it by the same rules?
