Orchids with air roots have specialized roots that absorb moisture from the air, while orchids with traditional roots absorb water from soil. Orchids with air roots may require more frequent misting or humidity to thrive, while orchids with traditional roots need well-draining soil and less frequent watering. Both types of orchids require proper light, temperature, and fertilization for healthy growth.
To maintain orchids indoors for optimal growth and blooming, provide them with bright, indirect light, consistent watering, and proper humidity levels. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically designed for orchids and fertilize them regularly with a balanced orchid fertilizer. Monitor for pests and diseases, and repot as needed.
Water propagating plants differ from other types of plants in that they can reproduce by simply placing a cutting in water until roots develop, whereas most plants require soil for propagation. Additionally, water propagating plants typically have higher moisture requirements for growth compared to other plants.
Orchids grow in the wild by attaching themselves to trees or rocks and absorbing nutrients from the air and rainwater. Factors like temperature, humidity, light, and air circulation contribute to their natural growth and development.
To successfully propagate dendrobium orchids, you can divide the plant's pseudobulbs or propagate from stem cuttings. Ensure the new plant has proper light, humidity, and watering conditions for healthy growth.
You should only repot an orchid once a year for most orchids. Usually in the spring when you start to see new growth's Paphs & Phrags (lady Slipper Orchids) should be repotted every 6-9 months.
It is too sunny outside for them...they could dry out and die.
Growth is the process of becoming larger. Development is the process of becoming more complex.
An orchidarium is a structure designed to specifically house and showcase orchids. It provides a controlled environment with optimal conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light to promote the growth and blooming of orchids. Orchidariums are often used for research, conservation, cultivation, and display of these beautiful flowers.
Fungi help orchids (and other plants) by providing water and nutrients. In orchids, specifically, the fungi associate with the seedlings. Fungal hyphae are much better than roots at discovering and absorbing nutrients and water in the soil (or whatever medium the plant is in). The water and nutrients are taken up by the fungus and transported to the orchid. If the relationship is mutualistic, then the fungus gets sugars in exchange. If it is not, then the fungus gets nothing.
The concept related to population growth
We need to know if an Orchid is a perennial, an annual, or a biannual. Here's my opinion... ask someone else!
Cubic Growth is x^a, a being some constant, while exponential growth is a^x. Exponential growth ends up growing MUCH faster than cubic growth.
