The sun is strong in summer and autumn, which need proper shade. You can put the orchid basin under the eaves, only in the morning or evening when you see the light, do not see the light after 9 a.m.
The temperature of rooting, germination and normal growth of orchid is between 20 ℃ and 28 ℃, the growth is slow when the temperature is below 20 ℃, the growth is rapid when the temperature is above 25 ℃, and the orchid will enter into dormancy when the temperature is above 30 ℃.
In winter, the temperature is 10 ℃ ~ 16 ℃ in the daytime and 5 ℃ ~ 10 ℃ in the night. In winter and spring, there is no need to take warming measures to survive the severe cold period. Such as in the courtyard or balcony leeward winter, plastic film can be used to build a temporary greenhouse.

1. Keep away from the sunshine. Mulan can be placed on the East, South and West balconies for management. The cultivation effect of the East and West balconies is better, and the South balconies should avoid the place with too strong sunlight. Because Mulan's height is moderate, it can be put anywhere.
2. Turn the basin in time. There is also a limit to the viewing of orchids. The best viewing time is 5-7 years after planting. Without turning the basin, the viewing value will decrease after 2 years, so it is necessary to turn the basin in time for soil replacement.
