Lights Orchid Culture - Configuration of the Culture of Orchids

Most of the most beautiful, exotic species of orchids are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the earth. In general, grow in hot, oppressive humidity, a registered climates, South Asia, New Guinea, Australia and Polynesia. Its natural habitat is usually found in a rainforest where most are safe direct solar radiation by the foliage of forest trees, the intensity light is very bright. To successfully grow orchids such, it is really necessary to establish a separate area of growth that mimics the conditions found in these equatorial regions. In this article I will try to obtain information about the requirements to successfully implement an interior space that will incorporate your orchid more lights in the general construction of their environment with high humidity.

You have two options to use, you can create a greenhouse in your garden or choose to grow their plants in the basement or garage. The second option is analyzed with an emphasis on lighting system that can use and circulation of surfaces reflectors will be required and adequate drainage and good air.

The decision to develop in a basement or garage, the first question to ask is: Where does the water leak? You several options here, if you have a floor drain in place so do not worry. Otherwise, you may decide to grow plants on trays of moisture in the banks or specially built with a drainage channel that drains the excess water in a bucket.

Moisture creates in this environment, not only can damage the structure of your building causing beams to rot and concrete blocks to crack, but they also create an ideal environment for fungus to grow and spread of disease among plants. So the most important thing to do is install an oscillating fan to create air circulation flowing properly through its production area.

The issue of high humidity that is generated and structural damage can be easily overcome by installing plastic sheeting to the roof and painted the walls white with steam white seal the paint. White creates a highly reflective surface to increase the intensity of illumination up to 30%, this means that not only save on electricity, but a small lighting system will be sufficient to cover a much larger area. The plastic on the ceiling will increase moisture levels.

We recommend placing the area to grow along the walls of your basement to act as a heat sink and stop the temperature increase to unsustainable levels.

There are a lot of sodium or fluorescent lighting systems on the market. The size of the fire exit and requires totally dependent on the total size of its production area and how it is mounted. Consult an expert in your nursery and discuss the local settings and types of orchids that will become more and will be able to advise on the best type and intensity of illumination according to their needs.
