Soil: It is better to use slightly acidic sandy soil for cultivating wind orchids. It can be prepared with humus soil, coarse sand and garden soil. Temperature: It is best to keep the ambient temperature between 15-30°C in normal times, and below 35°C in summer. Light: It prefers to grow in an environment with astigmatism.

It can be prevented by spreading lime. If the disease is severe, the plants need to be destroyed.

2. Scale insects: This is a pest that reproduces relatively quickly, especially when ventilation conditions are poor. It is very harmful to plants. In the early stage of discovery, 1% omethoate solution should be used to kill it. If the insect damage is relatively minor, it can be brushed off with a small brush.
