Orchids are very beautiful, delicate and popular. Many people feel that they are very difficult to grow because even the smallest mistake can kill them. But that is a big misconception. In reality, just a few steps and a little practice are enough, and you can have a continuously beautifully blooming orchid that everyone around you will envy.
4 key elements
At first glance, growing orchids may seem like a very difficult task that is unlikely to bear fruit. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s enough for the plant to feel comfortable. Then it will bloom beautifully and bring you lots of joy. And you only need to get four small things right. Which ones?
- Place – ideally warm and bright, but it must not be scorched by the sun from morning till evening.
- Heat – orchids need quite a bit of warmth, so keep steady, pleasant temperatures in the room.
- Watering – never let them dry out, because they need a constant supply of moisture.
- Container – have you noticed that florists sell orchids only in transparent wrappers? That’s no coincidence, so don’t repot them for the first few years and always leave them in glass or transparent plastic.
Further care
Most plants need some care. Some more, others less. This flower belongs to those that value your attention above all. However, if you provide it with great living conditions, it will reward you. The change can occur after just a few days, even if you’ve had it at home for some time and it hasn’t wanted to bloom.
When it blooms, side flower spikes may also appear. That’s not a problem, feel free to leave them. If, however, they start to dry out, it’s worth removing them so it can regain strength. These side shoots can drain it too much and as a result it may die. Take good care of it, water it generously and you will soon see that it will thrive and you will be able to show it off to your friends.
