In a rich and decorative oriental setting in a bedroom or living room, orchids look “in their place”, diluting an overly heavy and pompous design, giving it airiness and grace. Eastern includes chinese style, and Asian. AT Japanese interior orchid - a very popular decor theme - paintings with orchids, decorative tiles, wallpapers are very common in this country. Of course, you can’t call it heavy, but rather minimalistic and concise. But in this case, the orchid brings liveliness and freshness to the interior, does not allow the atmosphere to “freeze”.

And here you need to reduce their number in the period after flowering and in winter when there is little light and the room is cool.
For watering orchids, you need to use only settled water, as an option - boiled or filtered. After the plant has faded, two vines or three buds must be counted below it, and the rest is cut off.
When the last flower is dropped, the plant needs to be given rest: transfer it to a semi-dark place and keep it at a temperature of 24 degrees. During this period, you can not change the location of the plant and water it.. Sometimes spraying of the roots is allowed.
