In monopodial orchid, stem grows from a single bud and the plant has only one stem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">In <strong>sympodial orchid<\/strong>, it doesn&#8217;t grow from a single vertical stem but it grows from stem i.e. more or less horizontal. Sympodial orchids grow new pseudobulbs from the base of the previous pseudobulbs and develop multiple growth on a single horizontal stem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">These pseudobulbs can store water therefore it can survive for longer duration without application of water on regular basis. <br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:26px\">On The Basis Of Growth Habitat<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:20px\">\n<li><strong>Epiphytes Or Tropical Orchids:<\/strong> This type of orchids generally grows in trees,  clinging to the branches with their roots.

However few varieties such as <strong>Dendrobium <\/strong>\u0914\u0930 <strong>Cattleyes<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>\u0914\u0930 <strong>Oncidiums <\/strong>require shade. <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Terrestrial Or Temperate Orchids:<\/strong> They are generally sympodial orchids.

Therefore installing <strong>shade house with net<\/strong> is necessary. To ensure proper ventilation make two tiers of roof, <strong>distance between each roof <\/strong>should be <strong>20 to 30 centimetres<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">You can <strong>use concrete <\/strong>\u092f\u093e <strong>steel<\/strong> to create<strong> piles <\/strong>of <strong>3.5 metres height<\/strong> \u0914\u0930 <strong>3.5\u00d73.5 inches<\/strong> thickness for the structure of the shade house.

Small container of <strong>25 centimetres size<\/strong> is good for orchid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>For terrestrial orchids<\/strong> you can prepare growing media by using garden soil, river sand, Farm Yard Manure, and charcoal pieces. Mix <strong>leaf mould<\/strong>, <strong>FYM<\/strong>, and <strong>sand <\/strong>in the ratio <strong>1:1:1<\/strong>. Add charcoal or fern fibre or coconut husk in this mixture to improve aeration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">You can also use these recommended potting mix for cultivating orchids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:20px\">\n<li><strong>Cymbidium:<\/strong> 30% Cocochips + 10% cocopeat + 10% brick pieces + 50% rice husk\/ leaf moulds\/ slow release fertilizer. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:20px\">\n<li><strong>Dendrobium:<\/strong> Coco peat + brick pieces + tree bark (1: 1: 1).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:20px\">\n<li><strong>Vanda:<\/strong> Cocochips + brick pieces + leaf fern (1:1:1).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:20px\">\n<li><strong>Oncidium:<\/strong> Cocochips + brick pieces + leaf moulds (1:1:1).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:20px\">\n<li><strong>Phalaenopsis:<\/strong> 25%Cocochips + 25%brickpieces + 25%leafmoulds + 25%green moss. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:20px\">\n<li><strong>Cattleya:<\/strong> Cocochips + brick piece + leaf mould\/leaf fern (1:1:1).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fertilizers\"><\/span>\u0916\u093e\u0926<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Like other crop, orchids also need fertilizers to grow. You can use <strong>\u090f\u0928\u092a\u0940\u0915\u0947 <\/strong>in the ratio <strong>20:20:20<\/strong> \u092f\u093e <strong>10:30:20<\/strong> with <strong>trace elements<\/strong> along with<strong> 20 to 25% coconut water<\/strong>. This formulation is generally available in the market but you can also prepare by yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">You can <strong>start applying fertilizer<\/strong> 30 days after planting<strong> at weekly intervals<\/strong>. Keep application rate of 0.2%. Ohio W.P. is most commonly used fertilizer solution for orchids.  <br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Irrigation\"><\/span>\u0938\u093f\u0902\u091a\u093e\u0908<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">You can irrigate orchid farm <strong>by misting<\/strong> or by using <strong>overhead sprinkler<\/strong> to maintain adequate moisture in the shade house. Irrigate orchid farm only during morning time.
