Move to a cool place
Another small but useful remedy is to move the plant to a cooler place . Consider that the orchid is used to a temperature between 18 and 28°C .
If temperatures rise above 30°C he can really suffer a lot! Move it to a cooler place, perhaps on the veranda , in a very ventilated room or, but only if there is not too much light, even outdoors .
Remember that the orchid should never be placed in direct sunlight .
Fertilize
Fertilizing your orchid is a way not only to increase the extent of its flowering, but also to strengthen it , providing it with all the energy necessary to withstand the hot summer season.
Fertilization should begin in spring and continue until autumn. You can use a specific product based on nitrogen , phosphorus and potassium , but also some natural fertilizers that you perhaps already have at home, even if you don’t know it!
In fact, after preparing a good coffee, you can recover the powdered grounds from the moka , crumble them with your hands and spread them on the orchid soil. Being full of nitrogen , they will give your plant some energy!
