How To Handle Orchid Cases?

This video provides a step-by-step guide on orchid care, covering topics such as pots, watering indoors, optimal temperature, sunlight, treatment, cutting spikes, and misting. It covers 10 steps to ensure orchids are healthy and happy, including proper watering, air movement, and selecting the right potting mix.

Orchids should be placed in a bright window away from cold drafts and hot south-facing sun, watered every 7-10 days by submerging the roots for 15 minutes. Proper watering is crucial to prevent orchid failure. Air movement is essential for good air circulation, and it’s important to remove the orchid from its old container and moisten the growing medium as needed. Dead or damaged roots should be removed with a sterile cutting tool.

Orchids should be grown in specialist compost, avoid overwatering, and fed with orchid fertilizer from spring until autumn. Fertilize orchids weekly or bi-weekly while they are producing new growth, then decrease feedings to monthly or bi-monthly intervals once they’re established. Place orchids in bright, indirect light, water them just before the potting mix dries out, and fertilize them weekly in the spring and summer.

Orchids tolerate low light but prefer bright indirect light. Protect them from direct sunlight, which may cause sunburn. Mist the foliage every two to three days using tepid water, but avoid spraying the flowers. Keep out of direct sun and maintain high humidity, but avoid soaking the roots.
