To keep orchids  vigorous  and  always blooming , we need to provide them with the right conditions. If we care for them correctly, we can enjoy them  for years to come! 

 When should the orchid be transplanted?

 Once a year!  If the roots are too crowded and are sticking out of the pot, the orchid can no longer absorb enough nutrients and water.  Transplanting helps it bloom again! 

 Warning!  Use  well-sharpened and disinfected scissors  – orchids are susceptible to diseases, and dirty tools can promote the development of infections.

 How often do we water orchids?

 Golden rule:  Water the orchid  only when the substrate is almost dry!

 Tip:  If you want to maintain optimal humidity, lightly spray the plant with water, but  avoid leaving drops on the leaves  – this can cause rot!

 Where should the orchid be placed?

 Orchids love light, but not direct sun!  The best place? A  bright windowsill , but protected from the strong rays of the sun.

 Did you know?  Each species of orchid has different needs, so it’s a good idea to learn about the type you have!

 Which substrate is most suitable?

 In nature, orchids grow on trees or rocks, so they need an  aerated substrate !

 Use  special orchid compost , based on  tree bark , which provides excellent drainage.

 With these simple tips, your orchids will bloom spectacularly and beautify your home for years to come!
