I wasn’t always good at orchids care, it took trial and error just like one learns most things. But to grow orchids and care for orchids, and let’s be precise I grow Phalaenopsis Orchids, you need to have a bit of a green thumb. I say a bit of a green thumb, because I think anyone that loves flowers can learn the the tricks to have your orchids flower for many months and then flower again later in the year. My children tell me I love my orchids more than them. They give me joy and no lip, can you guess I have teenagers! Your first tip is to buy your Phalaenopsis Orchid, I’ve found this variety blooms the most and is the easiest to get to flower often. Find a place for your orchid that gets strong indirect light, usually your kitchen has good light. This is the best tip and you will need to test a few places. Once you find good light for your orchid, that’s half the battle. The next tip is only water once a week, and when you water her, place her under the sink faucet and get her leaves wet and let the water run over the orchid roots for 30 seconds or so. Let her drain and she’s good for another week. Orchids are part of my indoor gardening which brings balance to my life!
