Caring for orchid plants:

 

  • Orchids enjoy bright but not direct light
  • Don't overwater! Watering is best done from above using either a watering  or you can soak the pot in water for a minute or so.
  • Ensure the plant has good drainage.
  • Pruning - when flowers finish, cut the stem approximately 3cm from base & a new stem will shoot in the following season.
  • Feeding - use commercial orchid fertiliser, as directed
