Orchid Plant’s care instructions:

Soil: Orchids should be planted in fast-draining soil. Using moss-based or bark-based potting mix is suggested. Depending on which you choose, the orchid care will vary. The bark-based mix allows the water to drain quickly, so you will need to water your orchid more frequently. The moss mix retains more water, so  you can go longer between waterings.

Water: How often you water your orchid will depend on your climate, humidity levels and potting medium. Orchids usually need to be watered every few days. When it comes to watering orchids, the most common mistake is overwatering them. Root rot is a disease that is commonly found in this variety of plant.

Fertilizer: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. Mix it at half-strength and use it to feed the orchids once per month while they’re flowering. Do not water them within several days after fertilizing them, or the nutrients will simply leach out with the water. After flowering, the foliage growth will eventually stop. You can give the plant less water and fertilizer until new leaves start to grow again.

Light: Orchids should be kept near a south or east facing window if possible. They need a lot of light, but not direct light. If they are near a west-facing window, the light will be too strong, so you may need to put a sheer curtain on the window. North-facing windows will not provide enough light for your orchid.

Termperature: Since most orchids sold as houseplants are native to tropical regions, they can be sensitive to drastic temperature changes. Pay close attention to the range your orchid needs. Both a high and low temperature should be maintained. The detailed care guide below will specify a healthy climate for each of the most common orchid types. For a simple reference, if you are too hot or cold, your orchid is likely too hot or too cold as well.
