Discover the Joy of Orchids: A Comprehensive Guide to Orchid Care

Understanding Orchid Care

I was never an orchid enthusiast. I always thought they were "fussy" and "complicated." I heard they were "no good once they bloomed and the blooms died." However, I am here to tell you that orchids are not as difficult as they seem. Would I lie?

Here's a little video lesson on orchids and our repotting service.

Key Points on Orchid Repotting

• Frequency of Repotting: Orchid repotting is recommended every 1.5 to 2 years. The medium breaks down over time, and the pH changes. Your orchid may also outgrow its container.

• Timing for Repotting: It is not advisable to repot while the orchid is blooming. Wait until the blooms have faded.

  
  

• Watering Tips: Do NOT use ice cubes to water your orchids. These are tropical plants, and using ice is a marketing gimmick. Watering them correctly is easier than you might think!

  
  

• Leaf Loss: Leaf loss is normal, especially if it's the bottom leaves. If possible, let the leaves remain until they fall off naturally. They will yellow and eventually drop.

OK, now here's Part 2! Let me know if you would be interested in an hour-long orchid repotting workshop. I've hosted these before, with different pricing options. One price is for auditors who want to learn but don’t have an orchid to repot. The other price is for those who bring an orchid to repot. We usually schedule these workshops on Sunday afternoons around 3 PM.
