Pleione Orchids is one of the exotic orchids that can grow up to four feet high and bloom with brilliant colors. While their care is not as difficult as other exotic orchids, there are a few basic rules of thumb for successful planting and caring for these exotic plants. Most people-even experienced gardeners-make the same mistakes when it comes to growing orchids, so here are a few guidelines for growing and maintaining these wonderful plants. While most orchids like a moist, shady location, they actually enjoy a drier and more tropical atmosphere if given the opportunity. This article offers some pointers on how to choose the best place for planting orchids and then how to take care of them.

The first thing you need to know about orchid care and planting is the types of pleione you will be growing. There are several subspecies and all but one, the Mengenai, are native to Thailand. The three most common types are Mengenai, Dendrobium, and Anggrek Yang. While there are literally hundreds of other species of orchid that may be suitable for planting, these three species are the best and easiest for beginning enthusiasts to care for.

One of the first things you should know about orchid care is what type of flower or flowers they produce. Each species has unique flowers, but most orchids produce pink, orange, white, or purple flowers. Some orchids also produce flowers that come in a variety of shades from bright yellow to deep green. Some of these orchids, including the Mengenai, can even produce flowers that are pink, blue, purple, or red.

When it comes to growing orchids, the climate where they are being grown is critical to the productivity and health of your orchid plants. If you live in a place that gets very cold during the winter months, or if it snows or if it is very hot, your orchid plants will not grow as well. Orchids love the sun and they do need a little extra sunlight during the warmer months. If your orchid plants are located in a part of the world that experiences temperatures that are less than 60 degrees during the day or that has very little sunshine, you might want to consider growing orchids in a greenhouse.

The water requirements for orchids are much more manageable than for most plants. They don’t have the same water needs as tropical orchids, but they can still flourish if you provide them with a little bit of water on a regular basis. Most orchids will do well in a half-water or quarter-water condition. Most orchids that are grown indoors will do better if they get an additional half-water or quarter-water treatment during the summer.

There is one form of orchid care that you should pay special attention to – the fertilizer that you provide your orchid with. Most orchids that are being cared for indoors will not need any fertilizer at all, but those that are grown in the outdoors will need some in order to thrive. Make sure that you follow the instructions carefully for the fertilizer that you are using. You may find that it is too heavy or that it is not appropriate for your orchids.

Another important aspect of pleione orchid care involves the humidity of the environment where the orchids are growing. While the orchid doesn’t have any foliage to protect itself, the humidity of the room where they are growing is important. Excessive humidity or dryness is harmful to orchids and can cause the plant to break down. Dry air also causes the roots of the orchid to become weak and to die if they are not properly supplied with water. Most orchids that are being cared for indoors should be planted in a shallow pot with an air pillow underneath.

The last thing to keep in mind when it comes to taking care of pleione orchids is that you should refrain from pruning. Pruning your orchids can actually do more harm than good. Not only is it possible to kill the flower by removing too much foliage at once, but the plant itself can also die if the root system is cut too deeply. This type of care requires that you be very careful about how you prune your orchids and should only do it after you have thoroughly discussed the matter with a professional.
