Orchids, with their exotic beauty, can seem intimidating. But fear not! This guide will demystify orchid care. First, **light is key.** Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. Think east-facing windows or filtered light.
Next, **watering wisely.** Overwatering is an orchid's biggest enemy. Water only when the potting mix feels dry to the touch. Soak the roots and then allow excess water to drain completely. Typically, this is once a week or every other week.
**Potting mix matters.** Use a special orchid mix, typically bark-based, to ensure good drainage and aeration. Avoid regular potting soil.
Finally, **humidity is your friend.** Orchids thrive in humid environments. Consider using a humidifier or placing your orchid on a pebble tray filled with water.
With a little attention, you can enjoy the stunning blooms of your orchids for years to come!
