- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
