A Reputation for Fragility
Orchids have long been seen as finicky. Yet, when you understand their rhythm, they prove resilient, blooming not just once, but again and again. They ask for attention, not perfection.
How to Care for Your Orchid:
-
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too much burns, too little withholds blooms.
-
Water: Once a week is plenty. Let the roots dry slightly between waterings.
-
Humidity: A light mist or humidity tray can mimic their natural habitat.
-
Repotting: Every year or two, refresh the medium. Orchids like a clean bed of bark to breathe.
-
After the Bloom: Don’t discard when petals fall. Trim the spike above a node and wait—new growth is often hidden in stillness.
The Orchid’s Gift
With their sensual curves and luminous petals, orchids are more than houseplants—they are sculptural companions. With care, they remind us that beauty can last, and return, if tended with patience.
