The role of plant fill light for planting orchids in greenhouses

2022 04/29

Orchid photosynthesis accumulates energy when there is light, so in winter, it is necessary to get more sun, and the flowers will bloom well and the fragrance will be stronger. Cymbidium grows in the southeast or on the top of the mountain, so it is most resistant to cold and drought, and the humidity will not be lower than 40%. Cymbidium needs the longest vernalization time, about 50 days; Chunlan is about a month.


Orchid is a kind of noble and refined flower, but it is also a kind of flower that is difficult to feed. When planted indoors or in greenhouses, when the light is insufficient, the most important thing is to pay attention to the impact of light on orchids.

Orchids do not have high requirements for light and do not like extremely strong light. They usually grow in places with shade, but if there is no light, it will be absolutely impossible. Orchids need light for photosynthesis to produce energy. In home planting, if the light is strong, proper shading should be carried out, but if there is a long rainy season in summer in the south or haze in winter in the north, the long-term lack of light will affect the growth of orchids, and plant supplements should be used. Fill light with light.

Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, water and other natural substances to convert them into organic matter for their own growth needs. Light is the top priority. If the crops are grown in a backlit environment, the plants will be malnourished, unhealthy, fruit drop, low sugar content, slow ripening, and poor quality.

After people's research and experiments, the plant fill light has been affirmed, so it has been widely used in flower and grass planting fill light. For example, the use of LED lights to fill in the light for home planting of succulents can achieve the effect of coloring and preventing leggy growth, and it also has the effect of promoting growth and strong rhizomes for greenhouse orchids. LED plant lights can make flowers bright in color and grow robustly. For green plants, it can achieve the effect of green leaves and strong rhizomes.
