Orchids, the trick to making them last forever: they have never been so lush and strong.

Orchids are naturally elegant but keeping them lush and strong takes a bit of care. Here are the “tricks” to making them thrive:

Light, but not direct sun – Bright, indirect sunlight keeps blooms vibrant. Too much direct sun can scorch leaves.

Water wisely – Water once a week or when the potting mix feels dry. Avoid letting roots sit in water; orchids like a bit of “air” around their roots.

Humidity boost – Orchids love 50–70% humidity. A tray of water with pebbles under the pot or a gentle misting helps.

Proper feeding – Use a balanced orchid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during growing season. Less is more; overfertilizing can harm roots.

Air circulation – Good airflow prevents mold and keeps leaves strong.

Repot occasionally – Every 1–2 years, use fresh orchid mix to avoid root rot and encourage new growth.

With these tips, orchids can bloom beautifully year after year.
