Although an orchid can fail due to various factors, the most common is improper watering. It can be too much or too little. If there is not enough water, the dried leaves of the orchid fall off, and if the orchid is watered too often, they begin to wither sadly. In order not to suffer the beautiful flower, let's learn some simple tricks on how to properly care for an orchid.
If you got a beautiful orchid as a gift, or you simply couldn't resist it in the store, check out some simple instructions on how to properly care for an orchid. The key to caring for an orchid is recreating an environment in which the flower will feel at home. Orchids come from tropical and subtropical areas and thrive in warm areas with moist air. If the air at home is extremely dry, it might be a good idea to buy an air humidifier together with the orchid.
The most common orchid in our country is Phalenopsis or broadleaf orchid, which should not be watered too often, as the roots soaked in water can start to rot, and its leaves wither. Phalenopsis is watered once a week during the most intensive growth, and only once a month in winter. The plant is watered with water, which is left to stand in the room for a day or two, as soft water warmed to room temperature suits the orchid. When watering, be careful not to water the heart. It will grow even better in a place where it will receive enough direct sunlight every day.
