The plant we chose “Orchidea Italica”, beyond representing Italy as a country, it’s also a fun idea to make one laugh since the plant is also known as ”naked guy” here in Italy because of its flower shape. It is also one of the most spread wild orchids.

description of the plant

“The Italian Orchidea” is a plant adapted to moderately high temperatures, but not excessively hot and humid. Sunlight promotes flowering and helps warm the plant, however excessive direct exposure to the sun can burn it so you are asked to moderate the amount of light it receives.
Furthermore, this plant does not tolerate cold temperatures well, therefore, take adequate protection and place it in sunlight in the event of an increase in temperature to avoid freezing.

  • Low temperature
    As previously mentioned, the "Italic Orchid" does not handle low temperatures well, in fact it grows better at temperatures that exceed at least 25° degrees. During the winter it must be kept above 10° degrees, if it drops below -5° the leaves will show extensive necrosis and are soaked in water, and then they will wither and eventually fall.
  • Solution
    Cut off the areas affected by frost, take it immediately to a warm environment to protect it from freezing, choose an area near a window that guarantees ample sunlight. (avoid air near stoves or near air conditioning to avoid further dryness).
  • High temperature
    During the summer, the "Orchid Italica" must maintain a temperature below 32° degrees. If the temperature exceeds 35°, the plant's growth stops and its leaves will gradually wither, it will become more sensitive to root rot and then burn easily if it is exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Solutions
    Cut off burnt and dried parts, move the plant to an area that offers midday and afternoon shade. Finally, water the plant in the morning and evening to keep both the plant and the environment moist.
