Plants grow well only when they are assembled in the early morning sun shines on (east). This planting suitable for most orchids, especially wild orchids.

If you want to pair with orchid stems are dead, you have to cut the tree into short pieces for easy hanging. Should choose the directory tree and bark will peel away as the shelter of insects. Tie a piece of coconut fiber on the trunk to keep it moist and tied up the original ligament spread. If you plant on rainy days or in very humid weather, no need to force the coir.

Choose fiber of old and dry coconuts and chop them in pieces as big as half a hand. Organize the pieces close together into a long tape on wood or bamboo frame and secure them with two bamboo splints. To avoid waterlogging, you can cut a small hole under the then newly planted coconut fiber pieces. After 2-3 years, when coir have other items that can replace tape.

Some points to note

When tree planting should be done in a cool place with high humidity until the new young roots develop gradually out where the light accordingly. 1-2 days after planting, water the tree as soon as susceptible to rot. Must constantly observe soil moisture enough or dried. Need water as spray. When roots develop new fertilizers are new. Maybe manure (urine, feces and animal residues) or inorganic (having elements N, P, K).

High temperatures increase the nutritional development in orchids. In the dry season, should increase the amount of fertilizer for crops to meet nutritional needs. Do not get crops in poor light because it will grow slowly.
