Orchid Care Handy Tips

Watering Tips During Flowering

Keeping orchids happy starts with balanced watering. Soil should stay evenly moist-too much or too little can stress plants and cause bud drop. In warm, dry periods, water two to three times a week; in cooler weather, once or twice is enough.

Apply water so it reaches the potting media, but don't let excess sit in the pot. For best results, use water with a pH of 5.5-6.5, and always water in the morning so leaves and crown dry before evening.

The Best Place for your Orchids

Success with Orchids? It's all about good airflow. Orchids thrive with balance: warm days (70-80 °F), cooler nights (62-68 °F), and steady humidity. Nothing replaces proper air circulation-even in the higher 90s, orchids can thrive. Indoors or outdoors, they bloom stronger and last longer. Surprise your customers!

Why Do Orchid Leaves Turn Yellow

Not all yellow leaves mean the same. While some fading is natural, patchy yellow or brown spots usually point to sunburn. Orchids thrive in bright light, but direct sun can scorch leaves, leaving stress marks and reminding us that even orchids need a little shade to shine.
