Orchids have a reputation for being difficult to cultivate, but with a little knowledge and by following some advice tips, you’ll find you can keep one alive as long as you give the plant what it wants and needs.
First, when choosing an individual plant, look for clean, shiny leaves, and don’t worry if you see some roots out of the mix; the roots like being exposed to the air, and should look healthy and plump, not broken-up and spindly. Next, it is always best to buy a plant already in flower so you see what you are getting , this way you’ll see the colour, mature plant capable of having flowers.
You need to make sure your orchid is happy with the amount of light it’s getting. Too much light, and the leaves will turn yellow; too little, and the leaves will be dark green, and the plant itself will start looking scrawny and won’t flower. Phalaenopsis prefer medium amounts of not-too-bright sunshine, as found in most east- or west-facing windows.
Try to keep your orchid watered. Don’t let the potting medium dry out completely, but water the plant whenever the medium gets to the point of being only slightly damp. That said, one of the most common ways of killing an orchid is by overwatering. To prevent this, check the weight of the pot every day. Right after you water, the pot should be heavy; when dry, the pot will be light. Note how long it takes for the pot to become dry and then water every few days as necessary.
