Orchids have few insect pests
January 6th, 2010 by admin
Many disease prevention tips are provided in an orchid disease guide published by the American Orchid Society. Take a sample to your county Extension agent and follow recommended treatments suggested. It is important to have a problem identified before attempting control. Orchids have few insect pests or diseases if properly cared for. Keep orchid delivery plants out of cold drafts and away from heating vents. Airconditioning may harm orchids because the air is much too cold coming out of the unit. A window left ajar in all but the coldest of weather may also be adequate to provide proper ventilation indoors. In greenhouses, a small fan should be run continuously to circulate the air.
