Orchid care for dummies?
Don%26#039;t water them too much -- that%26#039;s worse than letting them get too dry. Just a very small amount every couple of weeks is plenty. They like light, but not direct sunlight. Do not cut the %26quot;sticks%26quot; off unless they are brown and crisp and completely dead! Some orchids grow new plants at (or near) the top of those old stems! (I just learned this - I%26#039;ve got one of those new plants actually blooming right now!).





Mostly just give it a little water and some light and leave it alone. If it doesn%26#039;t die it should send up a new bloom stem in 6-12 months. If it hasn%26#039;t done anything in a year it%26#039;s time to toss it.





Orchids are really pretty easy to grow, and they will bloom for 1-5 months if you do it right! (the one in my kitchen started just before Thanksgiving and it%26#039;s just about done now!).
Reply:Weel she needs to make sure it gets watered and some sunlight. Orchids are easy. Just get some food for them you can buy the king that look like sticks that you just push down into the dirt and water at least once a week. And if she has no access to sunlight at the office then she should take it home and put it near a window so it canget some sun or plant it in the ground.
