Choose a bright spot for your orchid to thrive. Water sparingly, allowing roots to dry between watering. Fertilize monthly with a balanced orchid food.
Repot orchids every 1-2 years using orchid bark mix. Trim dead roots and spikes to encourage new growth. Monitor for pests like aphids and scale.
Provide proper humidity by misting orchids or using a humidifier. Maintain good air circulation to prevent mold. Avoid placing orchids near drafts or vents.
Orchids prefer temperatures between 65-85°F during the day and 55-65°F at night. Protect from extreme heat or cold. Consider a temperature drop to induce blooming.
Prune spent blooms to redirect energy for new flowers. Use stakes to support tall stems. Check for yellowing leaves, a sign of overwatering. Enjoy the beauty of your orchid!
