Orchid care is notoriously particular, given the plant's preference for a rigid set of light, humidity, and temperature standards. But once you understand how to water orchids to help your flower thrive, orchids can be quite straightforward to maintain with the correct orchid care and maintenance.
Orchids belong to one of the largest families of flowering plants, a diverse group that runs to 28,000 different types, with new hybrids being bred every year. They are found pretty much everywhere in the world, and come in all shapes and sizes. Some even grow as tall as three metres. But what really distinguishes these tropical indoor plants is, of course, their fantastic flowers.
