How do I care for Phalaenopsis orchids.?

HI, I have thirty two orchid plants, and haven't lost one yet. I really don't do to much to them except water them and put them in new pots when my husband knocks them off the windowsill. First you need to give then humidity,so put a shallow container of water,with some pebbles in it ,under the pot(don't let it set in the water). I water once a week by putting them in the sink an filling the water up to the rim of the flowerpot. Let them stay in there for fifteen minutes. I also feed them with Orchid food,but I dilute it,say 1/3 of what your actually supposed to use. That way I just water with it every time I water instead of trying to remember how many weeks goes by until I feed them again. Their Happy,I guess they are, they keep blooming. Oh, when the flowers fall off ,your supposed to cut the stalk just above where the first flower bloomed. Sometimes it grows more flowers from the same stalk, and water up to three times a week in the summer if it gets real hot outside. I keep mine in a east facing window. Bye

hi it relies upon the place you reside. interior the South you do no longer want any direct sunlight that propose it you place your resign the plant there'll be a shadow. yet you do no longer want to place it interior the shade. interior the north indoors you may positioned it in a sunny window an east dealing with window is the final it fairly is with the help of the fact our sunlight interior the north isn't as sturdy. Water as quickly as each and every week and attempt to no longer get the bypass away moist. whilst the vegetation bypass by utilising do no longer decrease the stem because of the fact the hot flower grown on the previous stem. and feed another watering. playstation once you water positioned the plant interior the sink and permit water trickle into the pot for type of five minutes. than positioned the plant decrease back in a window as long as there is not any water on the leafs oh and if the leaf starts to teach brown it fairly is to a lot sunlight ok good success.

They like high humidity in general, but that does not mean to over water it. That will attract pests like fruit flies. Let the soil become only slightly moist before you water. Keep it out of direct sun light. Orchids grow under the canopy in the rain forest in the pockets of trees. Try to duplicate that environment the best you can, and you will have success.
