Making a place for your new orchids
When you are first learning how to grow an orchid, buy a book on them. This will help you provide all of the requirements orchids [url=http://www.teatrodeoro.com/barbour.php]barbour sale[/url] need to thrive. Your new orchid would enjoy a home on a windowsill, with southern exposure if possible. You'll also need a humidity tray on which to place your potted orchids, because they are used to a very humid climate. You should also have a misting bottle to provide them even more moisture.
Determining Light Levels
Once you have your windowsill ready [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/abercrombie.php]abercrombie soldes[/url] for an orchid, purchase two or three plants. Any more will crowd your windowsill and may be hard to handle. Check your orchid book to determine the necessary light levels for the types of orchids you have chosen. If yours enjoy lots of sunlight, place them several inches from the glass in your window. If your type of orchid enjoys shade, it can be grown in the shadow of your other orchid. Be careful, because direct sunlight can burn the leaves of your orchids, especially during the summer months.

Watering your orchids
You need to be especially careful when watering your plants, especially if you are just beginning to grow orchids. They will be better off a little too dry rather than too wet. When watering your orchid, make sure that the water runs through the pot, to get rid of any mineral deposits that have settled into the soil. The amount of water your orchid needs depends on the size of the pot, the type of soil, the specific type of orchid, and its light and heat conditions. If it is in its active growing season, it will need more water. Over-watering an orchid, however, can be quite damaging.
