The Elegant One

Orchids generally prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, as this can cause burns on their leaves.

Allow the potting mix to dry out slightly between waterings. The best way to water an orchid is to submerge the plastic pot in water for about 5 minutes, then let it drain before placing it back in its spot. Water every 7 to 10 days.

Remove spent flower spikes and any dead or yellowing leaves. Once the flowers have completely dropped, cut the stem 2 cm above the second or third bud. This will help redirect the plant's energy towards new growth and encourage blooming.
