Water orchids early in the day, so the roots are dry at night. In average conditions, a 6-inch pot would need watering about once a week. If leaf tips turn brown, cut back on fertilizer. It is better to feed more often with a weak solution. Flush occasionally with plain water to prevent salt buildup.
Orchids love humidity.
In dry areas, add humidity to the growing environment via a humidity tray. You can make your own humidity tray by placing pebbles in a saucer and putting the orchid pot on top of the pebbles. Good air cir-culation is also important to reduce the chance of harmful bacterial or fungal disease. A small fan nearby can provide optimal air circulation. Repot into a plastic pot, into large-size fir bark or spaghum moss, with the potting medium right at the crown of the plant.
