I have about 15 orchids and I water them once a week by standing them in the sink full of water, feed them and then stand on draining board until water stops running out of the pots. Most do not like full sun, but do like light, so a little distance from window is best.

Thanks for all the tips and advice - will let you know how it goes or should I say grows - lol

I had a potted Orchid and nothing would it bear

Til I put it in the filtered light and gave it lots of air : ))

Sorry but I couldn't resist it..........lol

I have two both given as presents and I just water them well but not drowning once a fortnight and they are fine

An orchid fancier told me to put them in filtered sunlight in cement or ceramic pots; feed with orchid fertilizer as per instructions on the packet and water well, but don't drown it. Then, let it multiply until it crams the pot before dividing.
I have followed this advice and mine are doing OK.

I too have been given one for my B`day ~was told to keep it in natural sunlight and keep the soil moist.....................

Greenfingers i am not ~so heres going.

Good Luck with yours Mary ~hope you had a good B`DAY.
