Reviving and Caring for Your Orchids:
Nourish Them: Regular hydration is key. Refresh the water in their vase every couple of days and provide them with liquid fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium every fortnight. When they’re in bloom, reduce the watering and withhold the fertilizer to encourage the growth of new shoots.
Sunny Delight: Just as they need water, sunlight is vital for orchids. The gentle rays of the autumn sun provide the energy they need to flourish. It’s an ideal time to let them bask outdoors, absorbing the season’s gentle sunlight.
Embrace the Thermal Shock: Unlike other flowers, orchids can thrive when exposed to alternating warm and cool temperatures. On cooler days, around 15°C (59°F), let them stay outside. As the temperature drops in the evening, bring them in. Avoid placing them near heat sources, and if your indoor temperature rises above 20°C (68°F), find a cooler spot for them.
