Place it in a bright area
First of all, orchids need light, but not too much. Place it in a bright area, but avoid direct exposure to sunlight, especially during the hottest hours of the day. Also, keep in mind that the ideal temperature for most orchids is around 18-20°C during the day and slightly less during the night.

The transparent vase
It is important to keep orchid roots in transparent containers to allow them to receive the right amount of sunlight to obtain the necessary nourishment. Do not underestimate this fundamental point.

Moisture
Moisture is an important aspect for your orchids to flourish. In general, these plants need a moist environment, but not too moist, so it is important to avoid getting the soil or roots too wet, especially if the plant is in a pot. One way to maintain humidity is to spray water on the leaves of the plant every morning.

Use bark chips.
Orchids are best grown in an environment that mimics the conditions of tropical forests, where they grow wild in swampy areas. A good alternative to traditional potting soil could be the use of bark chips, which absorb the moisture needed by the roots and provide the necessary space for lush growth. Although not retaining the same amount of water as potting soil, bark chips offer an advantage in terms of root mobility and prosperity.

Drains excess water
Excess water must be drained to safeguard the orchids. This is crucial: orchids need an adequate amount of water for their growing medium, but it is important to avoid over-watering them after watering. Ensure that excess water is drained from the pot so that the plants do not remain in water.

Pruning
Once the flowers have fallen naturally, proceed to pruning. This will prevent you from wasting energy on dead branches and restart the flowering process.

Nutrient-rich soil
Orchids need nutrient-rich soil. Just like other plants, they need nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium to grow healthy and strong. Therefore, remember to provide your orchid plant with an orchid-specific fertiliser at least once a month.
