Display your orchid in a bright living area, away from heat sources and cold drafts. Clean the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks to prevent dust buildup. Avoid overwatering, the most common cause of root rot.
Variations
Use clay orchid pots for better air circulation around the roots.
Add a drop of natural neem oil to misting water to prevent pests.
Use banana peel tea once a month as a gentle natural fertilizer.
FAQ
Why are my orchid's leaves wrinkled or yellow?
This is often due to overwatering or poor drainage. Check roots and adjust watering.
How do I make my orchid bloom again?
After the rest period, return to bright light and feeding. A slight drop in nighttime temperature also encourages blooming.
Can I cut the orchid flower spike after blooming?
Yes. Cut just above a node (small bump) to encourage a new spike or remove entirely to let the plant rest.
