Overview

• Orchids are prone to overwatering, which can cause root rot and prevent the plants from absorbing nutrients needed to flower.
• These plants naturally absorb moisture from mist in the air rather than water-soaked soil, making misting a better watering method.
• Allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings helps prevent overwatering and ensures proper drainage.
• Experts recommend using boiled or rainwater instead of tap water, which may have unsuitable pH levels and harmful mineral concentrations.
• Optimal orchid care includes providing bright, indirect sunlight, cooler evening temperatures, and sufficient air flow for healthy growth.
