Where to place an orchid at home
Orchids require ample light, so place them in a well lit corner of the home. They do not tolerate direct sun, so choose a location near windows with indirect light. Good air circulation is important, but avoid drafts that could harm the flowers.
In order for the orchid to thrive at home, it needs specialized care.
Orchids enjoy humidity. They do best when the surrounding environment is not overly dry. Keep them away from heaters and stoves. A bathroom can often be an ideal spot because it tends to offer higher humidity, similar to their natural habitat.

how to water an orchid
The best watering method supports strong, healthy growth. Use low mineral water and water deeply but infrequently, allowing the substrate to become dry between waterings. In summer, increase irrigation slightly. Roots will indicate needs by color; if the roots turn white, more water is needed.
Orchids thrive when there is adequate moisture in the air. Excess dryness can stress the plant, so maintain a comfortably humid environment and avoid placing orchids near heat sources. A bathroom with regular humidity can resemble the plant’s natural habitat and support vibrant blooms.
