Jak już zauważyliście jestem posiadaczką niebieskiego storczyka. Niestety nie jest to jego naturalny kolor. Jest to barwiony biały storczyk. Barwnik wstrzykiwany jest w pęd, dzięki któremu roślina kwitnie na chabrowo. Z tego co przeczytałam do barwienia używa się specjalnych barwników, które nie szkodzą roślinie. Inni twierdzą, że można użyć atramentu i uzyskamy podobny efekt, ale jakoś boję się zaryzykować ;)

I’d got plan to write about the other plant, but last time
I got an amazing blue Phalaenopsis, that’s why I decided to dedicate this text
to it. For the long time we can notice different kinds of Phalaenopsis in
shops, from white to pink, and last time even cornflower blue. Orchid is so
elegant plant with an amazing look. This, no doubt, can be great decoration in
every home. And that was all I knew. I got it, was admiring it and noticed that
its plant pot was quite small. So I planned to change the plant pot for bigger
one. But first I started reading some information about Phalaenopsis care. I
found out that I need a transparent pot, because of photosynthesis… I can’t
water orchid like I do it with other plants… Phalaenopsis needs special soil…
What??? :) It may seem difficult at first but it's really easy. Orchids should
have got the transparent pots with the holes in the bottom of pot for good drainage.
When Phalaenopsis is grown in transparent pots is capable of performing
photosynthesis through its roots, but additionally we can place it in special
decorative pot for orchid which doesn’t have to be transparent. Now let’s talk
about the most important thing which is watering. It’s a key to maintaining a
healthy orchid. They are the tropical plants which need to dry out very
slightly before the next watering. I water my Phalaenopsis once a week. I just take it to the bowl and flood it with water for
40 minutes. After that I take back the orchid into decorative pot. A plant
drains which is important to prevent its roots from rot. The best time to water
orchid is in the morning to allow extra moisture to evaporate during the day. As you can see it’s
not so difficult task to do. Phalaenopsis likes bright indirect light. The best
place for it is eastern, or shady western exposures. Don’t place it in
full sun. I will repot plant in about 12 months using special soil for
Phalaenopsis.
As you can notice
I have got a blue orchid . Unfortunately the colour isn’t real, they don’t grow
that way in the wild. During the growth process, the stalk of a white
phalaenopsis is injected with a blue dye solution.
