This color is considered to be a symbol of separation. It is interesting to know what yellow orchids mean in the language of flowers and what is their meaning according to the ancient Chinese doctrine of feng shui. Let's figure it all out.
What does the orchid symbolize?
Nature endowed the flower with the correct symmetry; if you look closely, you will notice that it has an ideal shape. Perhaps that is why the orchid is a kind of symbol of the desire for absolute perfection, complete harmony of internal and external beauty, as well as well-being in the family. When choosing, pay special attention to the color of the plant. So, to bring peace and tranquility, harmony, relaxation to the atmosphere of a house, it is best to choose white or pink shades. A bright flower, for example, an orange, scarlet or yellow orchid (the photo can be seen in our article) will help get rid of the blues and depressive mood, will bring more energy to your life. To stimulate creative activity, buy plants of a dark red shade, they will also help get rid of laziness.

What lighting is needed for orchids?
Phalaenopsis is a fairly large genus that combines epiphytic herbaceous plants. All indoor orchids, as a rule, are precisely its representatives. Moreover, they have a different color and shape of the flower, leaves. If your orchid is yellow, caring for it will not have fundamental differences.
Lighting for this plant is perhaps the most important factor in growth and flowering. It should be scattered, but bright, with a daylight duration of at least 10 hours. Do not forget about this when arranging orchids according to Feng Shui. Try to maintain the temperature range between 16-24 ° C, without nightly drops.
Watering Phalaenopsis
Regardless of whether the yellow orchids or white, they all love moisture, but this does not mean that you need to turn the substrate into a swamp. It must be allowed to dry completely, then wait another one or two days and only then water. When the roots are full of moisture, they have a green color, when they are already dried - gray. The intensity of irrigation depends on the temperature of the air and lighting, everything is strictly individual, adjust to your conditions.
The best indicator of humidity for orchids is in the range of 60-80%, the extreme acceptable norm is 40%. Use wet gravel or expanded clay in the pan or spraying, but avoid getting excessive moisture on the leaves and especially on the flowers.
Fertilizer fertilizer
Fertilizing is necessary during the period of the most intensive growth. Use special complex preparations that are created for orchids. If they are not, then you can use any other fertilizer for flowering indoor plants. That's just the concentration should be reduced by 2 or 3 times. Do not fertilize very young plants and those that have recently undergone a transplant with fertilizer. Keep in mind that nitrogen helps build greenery, and potassium and phosphorus help plant flower buds and bloom.
