Orchids are great plants for those who forget to water and end up only watering your plant once every 3 weeks.

I water once a month by placing it in a sink & running a small but steady stream of water directly into its inner orchid basket for about 10mins, then let it drain in the sink for at least 30 minutes before putting back into its ceramic outer pot.

I also keep this orchid on a bathroom windowsill, next to the shower so it gets plenty of humidity. The window is frosted glass, too, so the light is diffused.

I bought this orchid in 2013. After its initial flowering (from when I bought it) it didn’t flower for another 2-3 years, but instead grew lots of aerial roots. Since then, it’s flowered every winter like clockwork, & the blossoms last many months! 😃💖

This orchid was beautiful in its bloom, for an orchid it’s grown pretty fast after removing his last dead stem. It had gone through root rot but i managed to save it. So far so good and expecting blooms in 5-9 months.

This was a gift. Once the flower dropped all its original blooms, probably as a result of new location, it began to flower again and appears to have settled in well.

It’s beautiful but you have to be patient for it to bloom again.

My orchid use to sit on my reception desk until the florist indicated it was going to be tossed. I've had it for four years now and have only seen it bloom once, but it has never given up. It needs a lot of TLC but it has been very satisfying to watch its new growth after all these years.

beautiful blooms. but needs a lot of time and attention, special pots and soil mixture (sphagnum moss, orchid bark), no direct sunlight.

So beautiful in the summertime! I rotate it every other day and whichever way is facing the sun new blooms pop up. And it gives off exceptional vibes to any room!
