Pay attention to your specific plant and its needs. Most orchids are air plants, which is an indication that they grow upside down and they need to be watered during the very early morning hours. Wash salts out of the plant to cleanse it and add air. When buying an orchid, make sure it looks healthy and nice. Ask for the name, care requirements, and make sure it is planted firmly. Make sure there isn’t any bug and the plant is firm. It also likes humidity, air circulation, the right temperature, the right lighting, and a stable place. Don’t put an orchid next to an open window because it needs a constant temperature.
To rid pests, place 70% alcohol and 30% water inside a spray bottle, and spray on the plant. Soap water also works, but fertilizer will burn the plant. Botrytis, black rot, and bud blast are plant diseases, and there is no cure.
