Light: Place your orchid in a bright room, but avoid direct sunlight. A south- or east-facing window is ideal.

Watering: Water the orchid infrequently, allowing the growing medium to dry out between waterings. Over-watering is a common mistake, so follow the plant’s cues rather than a strict schedule. Remember to only water the roots.
