Growing Orchids Indoors activity is an amazing de-stress program for everyone.
Orchids are elegant, charming and unique. Orchid plants are everlasting perennial flowers plant.
I have been growing potted orchid plants since the year 2003. The first pot was a birthday gift from my mum-in-law; she bought it from an orchid sales.
There are many types of orchids in the market. I love all orchid
types. I have been keeping many different colours of organic
Phalaenopsis orchids all these years.
Most of the orchids need
special types of soil which contains of bark-wood chips. You can easily
get a bag of orchid soil mix from your local gardening supplier when
you need to do re-potting; one bag will last for a long time.
Most of the orchids are sensitive; they dislike moving house; most of them love indirect sunlight and indoor lights.
Phalaenopsis orchid is easy to manage. You will see them often in your local florist shops and garden centers.
If
you purchase orchids online or off-line from the garden nursery, you
will see most of the plants are growing in a 10 cm tall transparent
plastic pot with wooden sticks stake along the orchid veins.
How to Love your Orchids
After purchase, you may let the orchid pot stands for one to two days; so that; the plant will be familiar with her new home before you start your watering program.
If the roots are too wet; you have to leave it for a few days more; give her a cool spot; at least 2.5 feet away from the window light.
When the summer is over, usually the indoor house plants will get your full attention; and the exclusive indoor organic growing program would start right away.

Growing Orchids Indoors Before, During, and After
Bloom Care
Care for phalaenopsis orchids is simple. The most
challenging should be the one new flower bud after another continuous
blooming.
Special Care
If you see one leaf is covered by another, turn the pot, to guide the
upper leaf change its position. So that the lower leaf would get enough
light. It takes time, but it works.
You can also train the new shoots to the correct direction; to avoid the leaves being grown to only one side.
Re-potting orchids is necessary only
when the orchids stop growing; or their roots are grown far out from
the bottom of their pots. When is the best time for re-porting should
depend on the situations.
