My boyfriend bought me a Jewel Orchid as a gift and i have never looked after plants apart from Cactus, which in all fairness don%26#039;t need looking after.
does anyone have any tips for looking after this type of orchid or orchid in general?
I.E... how do i water them, how many times a day, best place to keep them etc.
Thanks in advance
How do i look after a Jewel Orchid?
Place your %26quot;Jewel Orchid%26quot; in bright filtered light. Avoid placing your plant in an area with cold drafts or to near a cold window. Your %26quot;Jewel Orchid%26quot; should produce 3 to 5 flower spikes once a year between November and January. Check for watering weekly allowing the surface of the soil to dry. Feed bi-monthly with Orchid Food. Stem cuttings can be rooted in a container of water or vermiculite.
Reply:Well Orchids are very easy to maintain, keep them away from cold weather and away from direct sunlight. I keep mine outside but i live in Malaysia but they love this weather they grow like never before, well I water them once a week and i soak the lower part of the pot in water for half an hour every now and then and spray them every 3- 4 days. Also put organic sheep fertilizer in it and charcoal is very important, and good luck. Hope it works with you.
