Orchids are a beautiful plant family with over 30,000 species and 200,000 hybrid varieties, making them one of the two largest families of plants in the world. They require bright, indirect light to prevent them from getting sun. To care for orchids, choose the right orchid type for your home garden, prune them when the time is right, and learn about repotting, watering, feeding, and lighting.
Orchids are light-hungry plants, requiring 12 to 14 hours of light each day, year-round. To ensure success and better blooms, give the plants as many hours of bright, indirect light as possible, ideally in a south- or east-facing window. Choose a pot with good drainage, as cymbidiums and other terrestrials grow well in a premium-quality orchid mix made from fine to medium-quality materials.
Orchids thrive in a humid environment, which can be increased by misting them or placing pots on a tray filled with gravel. Most houseplant orchids like bright light but not direct sun, and prefer regular watering and misting. By following these steps, you can ensure that your orchids thrive and produce stunning flowers with the right care and attention.
