Key insights about video Gardening for Trees & Plants : Blooming & Budding of Orchids

🌿 Orchids require a lot of humidity to thrive, so placing them in the bathroom or kitchen where there is more moisture is ideal.

🌞 Orchids prefer the morning sun and shade in the afternoon, emulating their natural habitat in the jungles and woods.

💡 Artificial light can be beneficial for orchids, as they respond well to it, especially if it is on at night.

🌸 Orchids have their own blooming timetable, so sometimes no matter what you do, they won't bloom until it's their time.

💪 Phosphates are essential for orchids to bloom, so using a blooming fertilizer high in phosphates is recommended, rather than one high in nitrogen.

💖 Orchids are a beautiful plant worth growing indoors, even in cold climates.
