Very easy to tend, belying their reputation for being fussy, and their blooms last forever. They are definitely worth the investment (vs other flowers such as you note), given the pleasure they provide.

I have nice Eastern light in my kitchen, just above the sink so they would be perfect there.

If they like where they are and get plenty of light the rest is easy. Don't overthink it, as my daughter would say! Once the weather gets better, bring them out every once in a while and put them in the shade for a few hours; or if you have a covered porch leave them there but don't forget watering and fertilizing them!lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-87618705127395302732014-03-16T10:52:30.155-04:002014-03-16T10:52:30.155-04:00Well, you do live in orchid heaven.

As to success I think the health of the plant when you buy it has a lot to do with it. lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-39367592789562220872014-03-16T10:46:34.508-04:002014-03-16T10:46:34.508-04:00A good friend of mine told me that years ago when ...A good friend of mine told me that years ago when I balked at the price.

Your tips will help me get it through the summer on my own. I am amazed how much bigger orchids get each year.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-32171384858964729802014-03-16T02:01:29.151-04:002014-03-16T02:01:29.151-04:00One of ours is just reflowering now after a few mo...One of ours is just reflowering now after a few months. We don't always have that success, but cheat those odds by going and buying another one.<br /><br />Yours look stunning, and I agree that the white is very pretty, (although too funereal here). Sometimes all of them look too perfect to believe that they are not imitation. columnisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764365428633038329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-61065163811836802922014-03-15T23:46:47.312-04:002014-03-15T23:46:47.312-04:00I love orchids and yours are outstanding!
