Orchid's are my favorite flowers-ever! HOWEVER, evertime i buy one, i kill it =( I don't know what i'm doing wrong. Am i over watering it, under-watering it? I honestly don't know how to properly care for my orchid's. I only leave them inside!! PLEASE HELP!!

I'm the same with plants but luckily I have a friend who knows what she's doing. There is a good article on how to keep orchids alive below.
Reply:I sure that they need alot of sun so try and put it under a window were alot of sun is



give it 1 cup of water with some liquid fertilizer it is a bit expensive but i promise your orchids wont die



if you don't want to use liquid you can use normal fertilizer but liquid is way more effective.
Reply:Get a good book on orchids, there are 100s of kinds! And some are more touchy than others. All orchids require filtered light and high humidity. I'm lucky, I live in Florida and can grow them any time of the year. The stephanotis are the most fragrant. Good Luck!
Reply:They do like to have sun, so they must be at a window or on a porch. Not hot afternoon sun. I'm in Florida, adapt this to your climate.



Let them dry out completely before watering approx. once a week. Feed with an Orchid food. Don't change the pot until they really outgrow the one they are in when you buy them.
