Orchid Care Tips

Orchid Care Tips The orchid, with more species than any other plant, stands in a class of its own. At once exquisite and exotic, nothing compares to the breathtaking beauty of the orchid. With proper care, in the form of a few simple tips, you can get lasting enjoyment out of your blooms: Remove the water vial from the stem of each spray. Trim one-half inch or more from each spray. Submerge the entire stem, including the flower head, in fresh (room temperature) water for 5-10 minutes. Fill a vase with room temperature water and add the flower food as directed. Remove flowers from water, shake off excess, and place in vase. Mist flowers a few times each day. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from hot or cold drafts. Re-cut stems and change the water every other day. Enjoy your orchids!
