Here's how to keep your orchid looking good for a long time:
- Orchids love light, but you should be careful about placing a flower in direct sunlight. The flowers like when it gets cooler at night, and if it gets around 5 degrees cooler in the evening, it's perfect.
- When you need to water your orchid, you can put the whole pot in water in, for example, a bucket. Pick up the flower and let the water drain. Avoid getting water on the leaves as this can damage the leaves. Water your orchid once a week and never let the orchid stand in water.
- These flowers are very resistant to drought and can survive for a long time without water. A common mistake is to overwater orchids. During the winter months, you can even water once every two months. If you want to add nutrition to your orchid, you can buy special orchid nutrition from your florist.
