In the greenhouses of Chiltepec , located in the state of Mexico and Veracruz , a wide salmagundi of potted flowers are cultivated , including Anthuriums , Bromeliads , and a selection of Orchids such as Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis . These greenhouses have been trailblazer in Mexico in using climate screens since 2001 . Svensson ’s climate screens have become a fundamental tool for Chiltepec , allowing them to attain a perfect balance between protecting their crop and see the optimal developing of their beautiful flowers.
Chiltepec ’s nursery , dedicated to the yield of Anthuriums , Bromeliads , Orchids ( Dendrobium , Phalaenopsis , Cattleyas , Cymbidium , Oncidium ) , and other varieties of pot flowers , originate in the town that shares the same name in the State of Mexico . Subsequently , a second greenhouse location was established in the land of Veracruz , characterized by a semi - warm and humid climate .
Located at an height of 850 meters above sea level ( m.a.s.l . ) , with temperatures that can drop to 12 ° C in wintertime , Chiltepec has been a pioneer in the use of goods and services of climate screenland in Mexico since 2001 . Since their induction , Svensson ’s clime screens have fulfilled their function of helping to maintain heat and keep plant stress due to lowly temperature . During Svennson ’s visit to Chiltepec , they explain to them that they have observed that exposing genus Phalaenopsis to solar radiation for more than an hr result in irreversible burn damage to the parting . The solvent to this problem was the installation of Solaro climate silver screen , whose primary function is to prevent the plants from burning due to direct exposure to the sunshine and to ensure that they maintain a cooler temperature .
The Solaro screen has also been of slap-up help to Chiltepec as it can be used at night to reduce the release of solar radiation and prevent condensation on the plant . " At night , we rig humidity by extending the screen and allowing condensation to pass on the screen , which is then vaporise through roof window , forestall plant disease , " they gloss .
In the cold room where genus Phalaenopsis are civilize , the Solaro 8635 cover has been instal to reduce abstemious entry by 85 % and maintain the adequate humidity that these plants need . " We can control the amount of light our plants receive . In the good morning and evening when the sun is setting , we have our crops uncovered , but in the minute with higher solar radiotherapy , we cover the crop to protect it . "
at last , at the end of Svennson ’s visit to Chiltepec , the squad at the nursery share their experience using Svensson ’s climate screens , and this is what they said : " It is a fundamental tool for our crop , especially when we have register mensuration of up to 120,000 lx in the months of April and May . Without the screen , this exuberant light intensity could hold up the ontogeny of our plants . “Currently , Chiltepec is considering starting the migration to Harmony screens .
