ORCHID CARE MISTAKES : DON’T CUT YOUR ORCHID

Orchids are stunning and delicate plants that require specific care to thrive. One common mistake many orchid enthusiasts make is pruning or cutting their orchids unnecessarily. Orchids should not be trimmed like traditional houseplants; cutting their leaves, roots, or stems can actually harm them rather than help.

Instead, focus on proper care techniques such as:

Watering: Orchids prefer a well-draining medium and should be watered thoroughly but allowed to dry out between waterings.

Light: Provide indirect light; orchids enjoy bright, filtered light but can get sunburned if exposed to direct sunlight.

Humidity: Orchids thrive in humid environments. Consider using a humidity tray or room humidifier, especially in dry climates.

Fertilizing: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength, applied every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.

Repotting: Repot orchids every 1-2 years using a specialized orchid mix, ensuring proper aeration for healthy root growth.

By avoiding the mistake of cutting your orchids and instead focusing on these essential care practices, you can enjoy vibrant, long-lasting blooms from your orchid plants.
