✋ Orchids require high humidity to thrive, making the bathroom or kitchen the ideal location.
🥵 East-facing windows provide optimal morning sunlight without excessive heat.
❓ Orchids should be given phosphates through blooming fertilizer to promote blooming, as nitrogen can hinder it.
🏍️ Orchid blooming can't always be forced and depends on their natural blooming cycle.
🆘 Drying out and watering orchids can also help stimulate blooming.
❄️ In winter, keeping orchids in a dark but not too cold location and then bringing them back into the light might trick them into blooming again.

Orchids do best in areas with high humidity, such as the bathroom or kitchen, where they can receive a bit more moisture.

Orchids in nature are found in shaded, moist conditions, so direct sunlight can burn them. Filtered or artificial light is preferred.

Orchids have their own blooming schedule, but providing phosphates through blooming fertilizer and mimicking their natural conditions can help.

Avoid fertilizers high in nitrogen, as this promotes foliage growth rather than blooming. Look for ones with higher phosphates for blooming.

Orchids thrive in humid environments, so it is best to place them in the bathroom or kitchen where there is more moisture.
East-facing windows provide enough morning sunlight without excessive heat, mimicking their natural habitat.
Orchids require phosphates, not nitrogen, in their fertilizer to encourage blooming.
