Baby Steps ....
This is one of the most easiest plant to care for ..
Just follow some easy tips and you will have them blooming at your balcony soon enough. Some orchids are best kept in the house .. which makes it much easier to care for
1) I prefer to use spray watering technique for this plant .... well I just spray water onto the roots and leaves twice daily ..... (some or most orchids do not like to be flooded with water ....) ... Remember never to let the soil or soil mix is not to dry ..... The most you can go without watering is 2 days ...
2) Orchids are wild flowers ... they actually grow on top of tree making them 'wanting' ventilation ... what i learned from my own 'mentors' was that .. wild orchids absorbs water from the air but of course the air must be rich in moisture
3) In between the water sprays ..add fertilize spray ... which can be done at least twice in week. I make it a point to spray on Wednesdays and on Sundays . The best time will be in the evening after the sun has set, so that the moist is not absorbed by the 'air' and not the plant
Well ... for the beginners do not confuse yourself on more details . Just keep feeding them and they will do the rest .... I will be soon introducing my starter pack .... So make sure you live your details of contact ...
