Summary: How to Care for Orchids

Caring for orchids involves understanding their unique needs. Start by selecting a variety suitable for your environment, such as beginner-friendly Phalaenopsis or Dendrobium. Provide optimal care through proper watering—only when the potting mix is dry, about every 7-10 days—and ensure bright, indirect light for 12-14 hours daily. Re-pot every 1-2 years using a well-draining mix, trimming unhealthy roots. Monitor for pests like spider mites and diseases, addressing issues promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season and maintain ideal temperatures (65-75°F). Prune flower spikes after blooming to encourage growth. With attention and adjustments, orchids will thrive and reward you with beautiful blooms.
