Orchids are beautiful and diverse plants that require specific care to thrive. They prefer bright, indirect sunlight and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Using a well-draining potting mix, such as bark or sphagnum moss, helps prevent root rot. Humidity is crucial for orchids, so maintaining a humidity level of 40-70% is ideal. Regularly misting the leaves or placing a tray of water nearby can help. Fertilizing every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer will support healthy growth and blooming.
