If you are not growing your orchids in water, trust me and do it!! I thought this plant was deadddd and I saw a random video recommending to grow your orchids in water and this plant has been beautiful since!! I thought it was done blooming and it’s shooting out a second set of blooms now! I just recommend you tie the stem to a pole or something cause my is growing sideways😬

Do you just fill a pot with water and stick the orchid in or do you use soil?

I use only water and you can put the plant in a pot that has no drainage or you can put it in a plastic Tupperware container like mine in the picture
