Hello Ladies, My DH brought me a beautiful purple orchid yesterday. I am not a fan of flowers in the house but he was so sweet I just couldnt act upset. I have greenery in thehouse but not flowers. I am not sure how to deal with these plants and I hear the are a pain to grow and keep alive. I have to work really hard on having plants in the house. I am wondering if anyone can help with some direction in what I need to do to keep this plant alive....
Thanks
Deborah

I have several orchids, had 3 but killed it with overwater. I'd google, but I was told just to wet it every 20 days, let it drain, not to sit in any water. I have small pebbles at the bottom of my larger container that I sat the orchid container in. Have gorgeous blooms. They need subdued light...like from a north or east window.

DON'T water them too often, once a week is enough.
But here \/ is a wonderful site with Q and A, so lot's of useful info, way more than I can give you :)
