Today we set up a new grow space for Mini Phalaenopsis orchids and other low light, small plants!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
Mini Phalaenopsis orchids take the same care as their bigger counterparts, with the adequate changes regarding pot size and media. Here is my Phalaenopsis care tutorial • How to care for Phalae...
All we need for these tiny orchids is a secure place in our home, such a shelf, desk or table and a light source! Since natural light is scarce, we will use artificial light.
Grow lights are the norm for growing great plants, but they can be harsh on the eyes. I find that normal daylight bulbs do great for these orchids! I prefer 4000k LED bulbs with as high output as possible (specified by the lumen quantity).
For more information on a more professional approach, learn about PAR en.wikipedia.o...
In the end we get a cute little place with enough light for our orchid to flourish and not be bothersome for our family or colleagues!
