A profusely blooming orchid is the dream of any gardener who dares to grow this capricious plant.

Growing these tropical beauties is truly a challenging task.

But it’s much more offensive to ruin everything by making two common mistakes.

The first is related to the soil. In many cases, beginner orchid growers use unsuitable soil.

Only specialized substrate and no soil from the garden.

In addition, it is worth remembering that in the natural environment, the orchid "lives" on a tree, so the soil should not be compacted too much. The plant needs oxygen to survive.

The second nuance is related to watering. Many people believe that the more water, the better.

The orchid needs moderate watering. It is important not to overdo it.

If you follow the watering rules and use only high-quality substrate, then this will be enough for the plant to bloom over time.

For reference

Orchid is the largest family of monocotyledonous plants.
