Orchid 8 stems

Orchid (Orchidaceae) is a popular plant species with elegant flowers and a captivating appearance. In particular, Phalaenopsis (moth orchid) is one of the most frequently cultivated orchid species in homes. With proper care, it continues to bloom for many years.

Light: They prefer bright but indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. A north- or east-facing window is ideal. If they don't receive enough light, the leaves turn dark green; with excessive light they may take on a yellowish hue. Watering: Watering should be done according to the condition of the roots. If the roots are gray, it's time to water. Overwatering leads to root rot. Watering once a week (more often in summer) is usually sufficient. Use room-temperature, chlorine-free water. After watering, make sure no water accumulates under the pot. Humidity: Orchids like humid environments. 50-70% humidity is ideal. You can occasionally mist the leaves to provide humidity, but be careful that water does not touch the flowers. Soil and Pot: Use special orchid mixes (containing bark, sphagnum moss, or coconut fiber). The medium should be well aerated and drain excess water quickly. Transparent pots are ideal for observing aerial roots. Also, light reaching the roots supports photosynthesis. Fertilization: During the growing season (spring–summer), use liquid orchid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks. You can reduce fertilization during the flowering period.
