orchid care for dummies?
my co-worker got 3 beautiful orchids in a big planter, for her work anniversary in mid december. now all the flowers have fallen off and it liiks like 3 sticks with green leaves on the bottom. are there any easy to understand orchid care sites? or any advice? we want to take care of it.
Don't water them too much -- that's worse than letting them get too dry. Just a very small amount every couple of weeks is plenty. They like light, but not direct sunlight. Do not cut the "sticks" off unless they are brown and crisp and completely dead! Some orchids grow new plants at (or near) the top of those old stems! (I just learned this - I've got one of those new plants actually blooming right now!).
Mostly just give it a little water and some light and leave it alone. If it doesn't die it should send up a new bloom stem in 6-12 months. If it hasn't done anything in a year it's time to toss it.
Orchids are really pretty easy to grow, and they will bloom for 1-5 months if you do it right! (the one in my kitchen started just before Thanksgiving and it's just about done now!).
