Nothing says simple elegance like orchids. Dark green leaves offsetting colorful blooms with soft, delicate petals in white or rich, tropical tones in solid colors or speckled. While there are many orchid species to choose from, they all have similar physical characteristics and are easy to spot because of their tall, gently curving stems. Orchids are popular houseplants that typically can be started anytime for indoor growth and are some of the most commonly grown. Provided they have proper growing conditions, it isn’t difficult to learn how to take care of orchids.
The main rule for orchid care indoors is to duplicate the plant's natural conditions as closely as possible. In nature, most orchids grow on other objects, clinging to rough bark or even stone. And their roots are water-gatherers that need fresh airflow to remain healthy. Keep from replanting after you first purchase it and while it is blooming. Once it has completed its blooming cycle, repot with a mix that includes bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, peat and is fast draining. Orchids need to dry out between waterings and need bright light to create blooms but avoid placing them in direct sunlight. Give the right care and environment, your orchid will last for years.
