How to Keep Your Orchid Alive for 20 Years and Other Best Orchid Care Tips

Orchids often get a bad rap as high-maintenance divas of the plant world, but with a bit of know-how, they can thrive for years. These beauties can live up to 20 years if you get their care just right.

First, try the water culture method: submerge your orchid in water for a spa-like treatment, bypassing traditional soil. Next, provide bright but indirect light; avoid direct sunlight that can scorch their delicate leaves. Orchids bloom seasonally, so don’t worry if flowers drop in winter—they’ll return in summer.

Check root health regularly: white roots mean your plant is still alive. For white orchids, know that they’re the source of vanilla, adding a sweet twist to their appeal. When watering, use room temperature water and let the roots dry out between waterings. Regular repotting every 1-2 years and choosing the right potting medium keeps your orchid thriving and glamorous.
