Orchids thrive in bright, indirect light and require well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Water orchids once a week, allowing excess water to drain out completely. Use a balanced orchid fertilizer every 2 weeks during the growing season. Prune dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth. Watch out for common pests like aphids and spider mites, which can be treated with insecticidal soap.
