The Ultimate Orchid Care Guide
Orchids are beautiful and exotic plants that can brighten up any space. Here are some essential tips for effective orchid care:
Light Requirements 🌞
Orchids thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so place them near a window with filtered light.
Watering Tips 💧
Water your orchids once a week. Use lukewarm water and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Let the potting medium dry out between waterings.
Temperature and Humidity 🌡️💦
Maintain temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Orchids love humidity, so a humidity level around 50-70% is ideal.
Fertilizing 🌱
Feed your orchids with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during growth periods. Reduce feeding when the plant is dormant.
Potiing and Medium
Orchids prefer an airy potting medium designed for epiphytic plants. Repot every 1-2 years or when the medium breaks down.
Happy Growing!
