Orchids growing tips
Light
Without enough light, orchids may produce lush looking growths but no flowers. Not giving orchids enough light is the most common reason for failure to bloom. How much light is enough? The answer to this seemingly simple question is "as much as they will take without burning." This means that the foliage should not be a lush, dark green. Orchids grown under sufficient light will have lighter, somewhat yellow-green foliage and strong upright growths. Orchids need light but NOT DIRECT SUN.
Water
Without question, more orchids are killed by incorrect watering than by any other reason. Proper watering consists of two separate components; quantity and frequency. Orchids should be watered just as they dry out. As a general rule of thumb it is recommended to water every 3-4 days in the summer and 6-7 days in the winter.
Fertilizer
Orchids will grow and flower, given that their other requirements are met, for fairly long periods without fertilizer but you'll get better results with some level of feeding. Typically plants are fertilized once a week during the summer and every two weeks in the fall and winter.
