Eastern and western window sills are ideal. In the south it will be just right only in winter, since in summer it will be necessary to protect the orchid leaves from the scorching direct rays of the sun.
The norm for phalaenopsis is 12–16 hour daylight hours.
The plant should be turned 180º towards the light 2 times a month.
How to care at home
Once a month it is necessary to clean the orchid - water it under the shower or tap.
After watering, it is advisable to wipe the leaves dry.
Watering the substrate under the tap helps clean it.
With excessive watering, and especially at low temperatures, dark brown spots may appear on the leaves.
How to understand that an orchid does not have enough light
To understand whether a flower is standing correctly, look at its leaves.
If there is not enough light, the orchid leaves darken; if, on the contrary, there is too much light, the leaves acquire a yellow tint in places with spots.
Carefully examine your flower to understand its “well-being”.
How to water an orchid to make it bloom
In order for an orchid, which can quickly wither, to bloom frequently and profusely on the windowsill and delight the eyes of its owners, you need to maintain optimal temperature, air humidity, access to the sun and do not forget to water the flower.
Rice water is also an effective remedy for long-term flowering of orchids.
