I grow a handful of moth orchids among my ever-growing houseplant collection and they're all thriving quite happily. However, it has taken quite some time to be able to get to this point, as every indoor gardener knows orchids are not the easiest indoor plants to keep alive.
It's easy to make mistakes when caring for orchids, but it's all part of a learning process. I went from harming my white Phalaenopsis from incorrect watering to bringing my orchid back to life after two years of no blooms. One of the issues I encountered during this process was houseplant root rot.
