I was given this gorgeous orchid as a gift. I have never had much luck with them and I REALLY want to keep this one thriving. I’m trying to find something to help me- I found this product and was wondering if anyone would know if this is an ok product to use? Thanks!
I keep my orchids in orchid mix, in pots with drainage holes and water like I would any other plant. They’re tropical plants, so forget the water with ice cube myth if you haven’t yet! They like bright indirect light and humidity. Some orchids can tolerate lower light/humidity but it varies per species of orchid I don’t fertilize them often but when I do, I use the miracle-gro orchid plant food spikes (a lot of people don’t like miracle-gro, it’s preference. I don’t really mind)
Thank you again! I will definitely get those spikes 🌿

I use miracle grow too. I've realized ppl don't like it bc it doesn't have long term health benefits like organic fertilizer does, however organic takes longer to work like a process. I've been using the miracle grow spray once a week bc its what I have on hand atm, but I feel these would be better if U don't wanna stay on top of that constantly. I've been recommended maxsea and that's gna be my next experiment.

I’ve watched a YouTube video where they used coffee watered down quite a bit. Happiness Garden is the name. They have beautiful orchids. Hope this helps.
