Keeping Orchids in bloom longer is very easy once you know a few things! They don’t like very hot or very cold temperatures and they need bright shade. Under the desk or away from the light is not a great place to display an Orchid.
Keeping your Phalaenopsis orchid hydrated is crucial, but don’t water too often! Roots might really suffer if they become smothered by the water and medium.
Pick an orchid which still has blooms if you want to gift it, that way you know the flowers are fresh and they can last the full amount!
