The Right Water
Tap water’s chemicals (like chlorine) harm delicate orchid roots over time. Our top-rated reverse osmosis filter removes 99% of impurities—key for thriving blooms.
Perfect Pots
Orchids suffocate in standard pots. Orchid growers prefer to use clear aerated containers to be able to monitor roots. Showcase your orchids by then placing them in a decorative pot. Pro tip: Silvery green roots mean the orchid is sufficiently hydrated.
Fertilizer Simplified
A 'water weakly, weekly' fertilizer routine fuels growth without burn. We use rePotme MSU fertilizer for its balanced NPK ratio for orchids.

Orchid Care Basics
- Light: Bright, indirect sunlight. Keep out of direct sunlight. Why? In their natural habitat, orchids grow under tree canopies with dappled light. Direct sun scorches leaves (look for yellow or white patches), while too little light prevents blooming. Pro Tip: East-facing windows are ideal for Phalaenopsis; South-facing works with sheer curtains.
- Water: Water weakly (with fertilizer) weekly. See our Ultimate Guide to Watering Orchids!
- Temperature: 65-90°F days, slightly cooler at night.
- Humidity: Orchids like to absorb moisture from the air.

Orchid Care Tip: Did you know kelp seaweed can work wonders for your orchids? It’s rich in cytokinins, natural plant hormones that play a key role in orchid health. These powerful compounds stimulate cell division, enhance growth, and encourage orchids to focus on flower production. By incorporating a kelp-based fertilizer into your routine, you can give your orchids the extra push they need to produce bigger, more vibrant blooms.
If you have an orchid that’s been struggling to bloom, try adding kelp fertilizer to your watering routine in the months before its flowering cycle. It’s like giving your plants a backstage pass to their own floral show!
