How To Care For Orchids
If you have bought or are thinking about buying your first orchid then be careful. After you have your first orchid you will notice a change. You will get a passion for them that will last forever. You need more than just passion for your orchid to thrive. You have to know something about caring for orchids.
Many people are put off by orchid care. I can understand this. You have a beautiful living thing that you have responsibility for. You want to do your best for it but you know that if you make a mistake then it might die. I have some more bad news for you. Orchid care is more of an art than a science. But as with any art you will become better over time.
I want you provide you with some basic orchid care techniques. It is the watering where most people make mistakes. People tend to water them a bit too much and they end up dying. You won’t, unless something has gone wrong, need to water your orchid more than weekly. If you are unsure whether they need to be watered then they probably don’t.
The next thing to look out for is the temperature. Orchids are tropical in origin so generally like warmer temperatures. Think about this if your orchids are outside. Bring them in overnight to avoid them suffering from the cold. If you are keeping them inside your house then you should have no worries.
Orchids love lots of light. This is another bit of orchid care that you will have to master. You need to monitor this though. Yes they like light but you shouldn’t leave them in in sunlight for a long time.
I think everyone should have at least one orchid. Yes orchid care can be a bit tricky when you start but it won’t take long for you to master it.
