Orchids are one of the loveliest plants we can have in our homes. They offer beauty and can last up to 3 months. They can also be intimidating, having such delicacy and us not having the proper knowledge to care for them. Brooke, Designer and Manager of The Flower Shop in Glencoe, shares some helpful tips on taking care of Orchids so they can thrive in our home environment:
- Place 2-3 ice cubes of water in the pot every week. This is enough water for a 6 inch orchid. The ice cubes are the perfect portion of water. The melting of the ice cubes also help water the orchid slowly without over saturating it.
- Because orchids naturally grow on trees, they like humidity. You'll see the ones placed in bathrooms do the best.
- Orchids do not like direct sunlight. Place the plant indirectly from the sun in a well-shaded area.
- These plants do not like drafts, so best to keep away from doorways and vents.
- Orchids can last for 2 - 3 months with the proper care.
