Eternal Elegance: The Secret to Orchids that Last Forever (Page 2 ) | December 15, 2023

Key Tips:

1. Proper Watering:
   • Water orchids sparingly to prevent root rot. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering again.
   • Use room temperature water and ensure it drains freely.
2. Ideal Lighting:
   • Orchids thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
   • Consider the natural light conditions of their native habitats.
3. Ventilation and Humidity:
   • Orchids appreciate good air circulation. A gentle fan or open windows can mimic their native environment.
   • Maintain a humidity level between 40-60% for optimal growth.
4. Appropriate Potting Mix:
   • Use a well-draining orchid mix or a combination of bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite.
   • Repot orchids every 1-2 years to refresh the growing medium.
5. Temperature Considerations:
   • Orchids prefer a temperature range of 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day and a slight drop at night.
   • Protect them from sudden temperature changes.
6. Fertilize Wisely:
   • Feed orchids with a balanced, water-soluble orchid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
   • Dilute the fertilizer to avoid overfeeding.
