Orchids fascinate people. Their extraordinary variety of sizes, shapes, hues, habitats, and fragrances add color to life. Their lovely, exotic flowers brighten the day. Growing orchids is quite a rage today. Orchid is one of the most popular potted plants marketed behind poinsettias.
How do you care for your orchids? Though orchids have been labeled as delicate and sensitive, they can be successfully grown. Here's how:Overwatering. When orchids are overwatered, they might die for lack of air. Water naturally displaces air, which is needed for healthy root growth, in the potting soil.
Underwatering. Lack of water leads to root damage due to dehydration. Orchid-potting materials drain much more rapidly than materials commonly used for other plants. Be sure to moisten the orchid-potting materials before you use them (this will make them more water-retentive)
