🌱 Bonus Tips for Happy, Blooming Orchids
Rice water is a great start, but to truly help your orchids thrive, keep these tips in mind:
- Light Matters: Orchids need bright, indirect light to bloom. East-facing windows are ideal.
- Don’t Overwater: Use the “soak and dry” method—water thoroughly, then allow the pot to drain and dry out before watering again.
- Humidity Helps: Orchids love humidity. Use a humidity tray or lightly mist your orchid in the morning.
- Use the Right Potting Mix: A bark-based orchid mix allows for proper airflow and drainage, preventing root rot.
- Trim Spent Stems: After your orchid’s blooms fall, trim back the flower spike just above a node to encourage a new spike to grow.
