Indoor orchid is a special ornamental plant that is exotic and demands some extra care. While it's a potted flower that requires the usual watering routine, it's still important to complete several particular steps after you bring your orchid home to ensure that it stays healthy and blooming for long.
How to care for orchids
There are three most important aspects to keep in mind when you take care of an indoor orchid: feeding, transplanting, and watering.
1. FEEDING
In stores, including FloralN5, orchids are regularly fed with useful nutrients to ensure that these exotic flowers feel well in unusual surroundings. That's why it's better to avoid feeding your newly got orchid for at least 30 days after you take it home.
For further feeding routine, consult the shop assistant since the instructions may vary depending on the specific kind of your orchid.
2. TRANSPLANTING
Even though transplanting enhances a plant's growth and well-being, it is better to give your indoor orchid some time to get used to the new living conditions of your home. Transplanting your orchid immediately will only add up to the stress and, most likely, lead to its death. It is not worth transplanting the flower immediately after purchase.
So, wait until the flowering period ends to transplant it safely.
3. WATERING
If you've got the plant during a cold period of the year, wait until the orchid warms up, and then examine its state. If the soil is moist enough, don't water it for another 3-5 days since excessive moisture will only harm the flower.
At the same time, if you've got the orchid when it's hot outside, water it as soon as you get home. Don't hesitate to use a flower watering sprayer for this.
