Orchid Plant Care
Place your orchid in a spot with bright, indirect light.
- Light
- Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
- Water
- Water once a week by adding 2–3 ice cubes directly onto the soil, allowing them to melt slowly. This provides a gentle, controlled amount of water without disturbing the arrangement or causing overflow. Never let the roots sit in standing water.
- Feeding
- Feed with a diluted orchid fertilizer once a month.
- Maintenance
- After blooming, trim the spike just above a node to encourage a second bloom.
Toxicity
Pet & family friendly
Great news—Orchids are non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them a safe and elegant choice for households with pets and children. Some pets may have a mild stomach upset if they chew on the leaves or flowers, so it is still best to keep the plant out of reach of curious animals.
This is general care information, not veterinary or medical advice. If you believe a pet or child has eaten part of this plant, contact your veterinarian or a poison control center right away.
