Orchid Care For Beginners
October 25th, 2010 by Myarticle

Do you have an orchid already? If yes that you will understand this. If no then this may sound a little strange. When you receive or buy an orchid for the first time something in your world changes forever. You will receive a sense of enthusiasm and it will thrive on having more orchids. In order for your orchids to thrive you have to master orchid care.

Orchids have a bad reputation. Firstly, they are expensive and secondly, they are know for being difficult to care for. Both of those are true but with a bit of practice you will be able to improve your orchid care skills. Overtime you will become more confident and as you get more orchids you will start to become more adventurous.

I will give you some things to look out for when you are caring for orchids. A lot of people go wrong when they are watering the orchid. This is especially true for beginners because they feel they need to be doing something. Don’t water your orchid too much. You only need to water it once a week and if it is not totally dry then you can leave it longer than that.

After you have sorted your watering schedule then you should consider temperature. Not every orchid is the same but most do prefer a warmer temperature. If you are keeping them indoors or in a greenhouse then they should be fine. If on the other hand you have them outdoors please pay extra attention on cold nights.

You will find that orchids thrive when they get plenty of light. You don’t want to leave you orchids in direct sunlight all day. This is something that many get wrong with orchid care resulting in the leaves going yellow.

I hope that you do not get put off by the difficulty of orchid care and buy your first orchid. It is a very rewarding experience that I am sure you will enjoy.
