January 20th-Orchids

This week I talk about Orchids. They are not as tough as you think. I keep mine in a bright window. West facing seems to be good. I also use a humidity tray to keep the orchid in a humid environment. They do not like cold, drafts or to be dried out. Also you must not keep them wet. They will rot. Water in the morning so they do not sit wet all night.

Here is a link that talk about Orchids in General.
