I highly recommend looking up orchid care, orchid rescue, and orchid repotting videos by Tanner the Planter and Plants with Krystal on YouTube!

hey congrats on your first orchid! the first thing to do is throw away the care card it comes with. they normally say a few ice cubes once a week. but unfortunately that is only a marketing strategy to make them die and you buy more 🙃 i’d recommend looking up orchid care such as paige taylin / blossom effect. she has very good tips and tricks! good luck!

I love paige tailyn as well!

### Holly commented on 2026-02-14

Yes care card is gone I know better than to ice it

I know you’ve been given a bunch of resources, but I find Miss Orchid Girl’s thousands of orchid specific videos on youtube an endlessly useful place to go. Her orchid care for beginners series is excellent.
