Taking Care of Your Precious Orchids
Welcome to the detailed guide on keeping your orchids healthy and thriving! Orchids are one of the most beautiful and diverse plant families on the planet. Let's dive into their care requirements:
Watering
Orchids prefer a consistent watering schedule, ensuring the plant's environment is humid but not soggy. It's crucial to let the potting mix dry out slightly between waterings.
Light
A key to thriving orchids is providing bright, indirect sunlight. Be careful with exposure to direct sunlight as it might lead to sunburn.
Humidity
Maintaining a humidity level of 50-70% is ideal, making orchid homes like greenhouses or bathrooms perfect!
Temperature
Consistent temperatures between 65-75°F during the day and a slight drop at night are best for most orchid types.
Repotting
Repot your orchids every couple of years to refresh their growing medium and give them room to grow.
