There are several factors that must be considered in the process of cultivation orchids flowers, the factors moisture, sunlight, environmental, and maintenance such as pest control, watering, and fertilizing. In general, these orchids require floristry temperature 28 ° C with a minimum temperature of 15 °. Orchids that live in soil are usually more heat resistant than the orchids are planted in pots. High temperatures may cause crop shortages of water (dehydration) and will slow its growth.

Growth pattern of Orchid Flowers

There are two types namely monopodial orchid plants and simpodial. Characterized monopodial type of growth point on the tip of the stem, with vertical growth in the trunk. Examples of this type such as Vanda sp, sp Arachnis, Phalaenopsis sp, etc.. While simpodial are orchids that do not have a main stem, flowers out of the end of the rod and the interest of the child will pull out the plants. Cattleya orchids are examples simpodial sp. Cymbidium sp, sp Oncidium, etc..

In addition, it should be noted in the cultivation of orchids is a matter of humidity. Basically, the required humidity between 60-80%. Function of humidity for the orchids in order to maintain high evaporation.

Habitat Orchid

It is also noteworthy is the place to live (habitat) that are favored by orchids. Orchid habitat divided into four categories :

Vegetatively, done by family breakdown, as was the case with Oncidium and Dendrobium.
Generative, with the instrument seed. Orchid seeds do not have endosperm, germination force should do with the help of symbiotic fungi with the orchid seeds.

• Cross

Crossbreeding or cross in the cultivation of orchids flowers are meant to get new varieties, which differ from the type and shape of orchid that existed previously.
