Sherry Baby ( Ethan's Mama ) asked:
My new boyfriend bought this orchid plant, (is that what it's called?) It has flowers but is potted in a pot he said the florist said they were low maintenance, it's really beautiful, and I'd **** for it to die, I am terrible when it comes to plants. What should I do with it, how can I keep it alive?

Just water it once a week and feed it Orchid food once a month. Orchids don’t like direct light so don’t put it in a window sill because it will get too much sunlight.

Water when the soil is dry to the touch, give it sunlight but not direct sunlight because the flowers won’t last as long, give it a fertilizer in spring and summer, not during winter or fall because the plant is entering dormancy and if you fertilize it during that time it will die. When the flowers die and you want new flowers bring the orchid in full sun and it will store alot of energy and it will flower again in 3 months, the kind of soil it likes is a soil that is high in nutrients and make sure to put perlite for drainage.
