Orchids are not just beautiful, they are also a symbol of many powerful emotions and qualities. Traditionally, orchids represent love, elegance, and fertility, but their meaning can vary based on the color and type of the orchid. White orchids, for instance, symbolize purity and innocence, while purple orchids are often associated with royalty and admiration. One of the most appealing aspects of orchids is their ability to last for a long time with proper care. This longevity makes them an ideal choice for gifts, as they continue to bloom and bring joy for weeks or even months after they’re received.
Common Types of Orchids
There are thousands of orchid species worldwide, but some are more commonly found in homes and arrangements due to their beauty and relatively easy care. Here are some popular types of orchids you’ll encounter:

How to Care for Orchids
Orchids are relatively easy to care for once you understand their basic needs. Here are some tips to keep your orchids healthy and blooming for as long as possible:
Light Orchids thrive in indirect sunlight. Place them near a window that receives bright but filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.
Watering Overwatering is a common mistake with orchids. Water your orchids once a week, making sure the pot has good drainage. Allow the potting medium to dry out between watering sessions to prevent root rot.
Humidity Orchids love humidity. If you live in a dry area, consider placing a humidity tray or a small humidifier near the plant to maintain the right environment.
Temperature Orchids prefer temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid placing them in drafty areas or near heating or cooling vents.
Fertilizing Feed your orchids with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a diluted formula to avoid over-fertilizing.
