Orchids are some of the most beautiful, graceful, and most accessible flowers that you can plant. They’re very impressive looking, but are fairly easy to take care of. Orchids also make fabulous house plants, since they have air purifying properties, and they look great in any room, coming in shades of purple, red, pink, and white. If you are thinking of adding some orchids to your home, check out this post by Kathy Woodard at The Garden Glove for tips:
Moth Orchids – Phalaenopsis- these are less picky, and great for beginners. They prefer medium to bright light, watering every 10-14 days, and light fertilizer made for orchids.
Dendrobium Orchids– They have the same basic requirements as moth orchids, but prefer a bright light for the best blooms.
Cymbidium Orchids- are an easy care houseplant that enjoys bright light and a little more water than the other two… once a week, or even every 5 days when the air is dry.
