How To Care For My Moth Orchid. A west or east-facing window is ideal. To get your orchid to bloom the temperature should be below 60F 15C for a few weeks.
They like temperatures of 15C minimum by night a maximum of 30C by day and do well in centrally heated homes. If your bark is bone dry then youll want to soak your orchid for about 10 minutes allowing the water to really get into the bark as well as the roots. Bright indirect light such as the light that shines through a sheer curtain is just right for them.
Doing so is too stressful on the plant and it will likely drop its blooms.
The light needs of Moth orchids are easily met by placing them in an east or west-facing window where the plant will receive bright indirect sunlight. In the wild these orchids grow under tropical canopies out of direct sunlight. Overwatering is the most common way to kill orchids. Spaghnum moss is also a great potting medium for your orchids.
