How to Care for Orchids

Potted moth orchids want bright indirect light and a thorough water when the mix is nearly dry. Ice cubes are not a care method.

  1. Place in bright, indirect light — not a hot south-facing sill.
  2. Water when the potting mix is almost dry; drain fully.
  3. For cut stems, recut and keep water clean.

Phalaenopsis is generally listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs; other orchid genera can differ.
