Honey, I Shrunk The Orchids
Places To Grow Miniature Orchids: Due to their small stature, miniature orchids are limited to where they can be cultivated. Unlike ordinary orchids, these miniature orchids can't be grown on windowsills or in a small hothouse on the balcony. These special orchids are also hung on long rows of wire in a green house. Miniature orchids can also be found on pieces of tree trunk fern. Climate control process for maximum growth: Since these orchids grow indoors, climate conditions must be controlled manually. Something as simple as a small electric fan in a corner can ensure proper air ventilation for these miniature orchids. Modern automated equipment can be employed to accurately control light, heat, and humidity. These installations can easily control the climate for the growth of the miniature orchids. The cost for such systems isn't exorbitant and the rewards are unmatched. Different miniature orchids and their features: 1) Sophomores coccinea: This breathtaking beauty can be found in Southeast Brazil. This particular miniature orchid is usually 8-10cm tall but yields red flowers 6-8cm in diameter. 2) Phymatidium Delicatum: This stunner is also native to Brazil. This orchid is hardly bigger that a figure nail, this includes the roots, leaves, flowers, etc... 3) Small White Orchid: Generally about six inches tall. They prefer hay medows, grassy lands, and hilly countryside. These possess a subtle scent of vanilla. Tiny flowers grow during the period of May-July. 4) Bog Orchid: At only 2-3 inches tall, this miniature orchid is on the small end. They prefer wet ground. These orchids are usually found growing on a cushion of Sphagnum. Their flower emerges on the top and typically arrive from July-September. 5) Fen Orchid: Easily one of the rarest miniature orchids. They are usually found in marshy and wetland areas. The fenlands of East Anglia, south Wales, and Devon are few places where you would find them. The miniature orchid list is ever expanding.
