At Lucy’s Flowers, owner Lucy celebrates orchids in NYC and takes pride in sourcing, collecting, and growing them for the enjoyment of others. Here, we outline some basic care guidelines for you to follow that apply to most types of orchids:
- Light – Orchids love indirect light and lots of it. Avoid putting them in direct sun.
- Water – Orchids need a good watering once a week when it’s cooler and twice a week when it’s warmer. Be careful that the water drains completely from the bottom of the pot so that the plant is not standing in water.
- Fertilizer – Growing orchids require fertilizer to give them the best start.
- Air – An environment that provides gentle air circulation is recommended.
- Humidity – Most orchids like a little moisture in the air. Very dry environments can be harmful.
- Temperature – Daytime temperature should be between 65°- 75°F, the nighttime temperature should be a few degrees cooler.
