GREENHOUSE

How to build a greenhouse to a standard

A greenhouse should be designed taking into account the prevailing climate and environmental factors throughout the year. When preparing a greenhouse 60% shade net should be installed around the greenhouse as well as horizontally at a height of 10 feet from the ground. Also the roof should be covered with a UV polythene cover. Greenhouses can be arranged in different shapes and the three most suitable types of greenhouses are shown in the diagrams below.

01 . Arch Roof - Shape

02 . Double side Roof - Shape

03 . Single side Roof - Shape

When buying UV polythene from the market, it is available in 6m, 8m and 10m widths. The width of the greenhouse should be determined by the width of the polythene that can be purchased from the market. Can take any length you want. When designing a greenhouse, one must first determine which greenhouse will be set up and how wide it will be based on the location of the land, the environment, the ventilation and the sunlight. From one of the three diagrams above, you can select the type of greenhouse you want to build.

Greenhouse floor plan for 8 Meter width UV Polythene.

Greenhouse floor plan for 10 Meter width UV Polythene.

Choose a greenhouse mentioned above to suit the location. The single-roof greenhouse is the easiest to set up in any location in any province. Such a greenhouse Below are some pictures of how to make it.You can get an idea by looking at it. Since we use ultraviolet polythene for greenhouses, the frame of the greenhouse should be constructed strong enough to withstand the wind . The strength of the greenhouse can be increased by using one and a half inch G I pipes for the vertical pillars and inchs one G I pipes for the horizontal pillars. The greenhouse framework should be made durable and stronger with the advice of an experienced welder. if you need for further advice to contact phone number listed on the webpage.

When making an orchid bed, it is best to make it 5 feet 6 inches wide. But as mentioned above, even if the width varies by 2to3 inches, it is not so much a problem. Make sure the GI pipes and checks mesh are do not be wast. First you should be decide of orchid bed required width and lengthen then use inche GI pipe to make the frame. A stronger orchid bed you can be make by doing adjust it as shown in the diagram below.

Pull the 60% shade net vertically around the greenhouse with the help of tuvin thread from the top GI pipe and the bottom GI pipe and fix it first. Then install a shade net 9 feet 6 inches of height horizontally. Also install a shade net to door. after lay the UV polythene on the roof of the greenhouse and attach well tight it with of clip around the roof as shown in the picture below. Use green house belts and fasten the polythene tightly so that it does not escape into the wind.Tighten the soils around the greenhouse shade net so that small animals cannot enter through the gaps.In the pictures below a white insect net is used around the greenhouse but you should use a 60% shade net. The use of insect nets causes excessive heat in the greenhouse.

PLACE

How to choose a suitable place for the cultivation of orchids

01. The place you choose should be a place where you get 100% sunlight that is not shaded by large trees or any other.

02. It should be a place that gets very good sunlight for most of the day about 10-12 hours.

03. Morning sunlight should be well received.

04. It should be a well-ventilated place.

05. It should be a place with good humidity of 75% - 80%.

SUCCESSFULLY IN ORCHIDS SHOULD BE GIVE BASIC PROPERTIES FOR FLOWERING.

When Cultivation orchids as a commercial Cultivating. We are expecting small orchid plant quickly to do bigger plant and get flowers faster. In order to achieve that goal,the following points should be attention.

01.Provide sunlight as required.

02.Maintaining humidity as required.

03.Keeping the temperature as required.

04.Using a suitable cultivation medium.

05.Proper supply of water.

06.Proper use of fertilizers.

PLANTING MEDIUM

How to prepare coconut husks for rooting orchid seedlings.

Cut coconut husks into 2 inch high pieces.If it is raw coconut husk, dry it in the sun to reduce its acidity. Dry coconut husks are not necessary dry it in the sun.Put the cut coconut husks in a barrel, fill it well with water and leave it for two days.Then remove the water and refill and leave for two days.Again remove the existing water and refill it water and add the hydrogen peroxide. (add 600 ml of hydrogen peroxide per 100 liters of water) Leave for another one days and do Crush like a belt.(thalaa ganna ) In coconut husks.Remove bark and excess coir. Do not cover the crushed coconut husks.it closure creates fungus on the coconut husks, so keep it exposed.If coconut husks are used after a long period, soak them again in a fungicide and squeeze out the water.

SELECTION OF A MATCHING CULTIVATION MEDIUM.

We must be very careful when choosing a medium for the cultivation of orchids. It should be used in commercial cultivation with a higher standard than the medium normally used for home cultivation. You can choose the medium for growing orchids as follows.

1.Charcoal , Pieces of tile.

2.Charcoal , Pieces of tile and Coconut husk pieces.

If only charcoal and tile pieces can be used from the above mentioned media, it is more suitable. But since water is not retained, the plants should be watered properly without drying out.Coconut husks retain water when used, but small insects (aphids) breed on coconut husks , aphids are do causing damage to the roots becouse Infectious disease occurs of orchids.When planting orchids, all these media should be wash with a fungicide to prevent fungal diseases. But fungicides should be used even after planting.

PLANT PLANTING

Way to draw roots of small orchid plant of coconut husks.

Piece of coconut husk made as stated on the planting media page Soak in a fungicide and squeeze. Wrap the coconut husk tape loosely around the roots of small plants so that they do not fall under the stems as shown in the picture below Take and put a rubber band. Then sprinkle fungicide for plant and keep it a tray.To learn how to care for those little plants.see the How to Maintain page.

way of pot a large orchid plant

1. Take a clay or plastic container and wash it with a fungicide first.

2. Immersed the plant orchid in a fungicide for five minutes Keep around and remove.

3. Again Immersed the plant orchid in a organic liquid fertilizer for about ten to fifteen minutes and remove.(Maxicrop)

4. Put a few pieces of tile first on the bottom of the orchids pot and then a few more pieces of charcoal.Then place the orchid plant in the center of the pot. Put the charcoal only or charcoal and coconut husks around the orchid plant again.If the orchid plant does not Straight,put a few more pieces of tile around the orchids plant.Place the empty about an inch keep from the top edge of the bowl.Even an orchid plant wrapped in a coconut husks can be potted in the same way on with of the coconut husk.

5. At the end of planting , spray a fungicide so that the roots and the medium are moist.

6. Place the orchid plant in a shady net house (50% or 60% shed net). After two to three days, apply fertilizer and water.
