Here are my suggestions for orchid rescue.
Can you grow orchids in the bathroom.
Or that s right grow them in the bathroom.
Never pay full price.
Place one on a countertop near the window so that it gets indirect light.
Orchids prefer humidity to be between 50 70 so this makes the bathroom a place where hopefully lots of people are taking hot showers and baths an ideal spot.
Whether you keep a tall green plant or hang orchids from the ceiling or the window plants can transform your bathroom.
Plants without blooms need love too.
Why grow orchids in your bathroom.
Bringing nature into this space can transform it magically adding warmth cheer and aesthetic appeal.
As per feng shui green plants in the bathroom also counteract its negative energy.
These superb plants flower for many months of the year and come in pinks purples yellows oranges multicolours and purest white.
So if you are looking for a bathroom friendly plant look no further than rescued orchids.
Orchids are tropical plants that flourish in heavy humid environments.
So if it s dry in your house group your orchid pots on top of a tray filled with pebbles.
Many houseplants don t survive the winter they simply don t like the dry interior air.
After all they keep their gorgeous flowers for months on end.
In my bathroom which luckily for me does have a heated floor i grow stunning tropical orchids mostly the moth orchid aka phalanopsis.
The indoor air flow of your bathroom provides just that especially if you re a fan of toasty showers.
While many gardeners complain that these blooms are temperamental the real trick is that you simply need to stick them on a bathroom windowsill.
Orchids though they can be a tad bit temperamental are so worth the extra effort to grow in your bathroom.
Keep the water level low enough that the potting mix doesn t get wet.
They grow to perfection in a bathroom with a heated floor.
Orchids do best in environments with reasonable humidity.
Then only water it when the soil feels dry.
Beautiful orchids enjoy warm air with high humidity so they are a natural choice to decorate a bathroom.
The damp warm conditions in most bathrooms are a perfect environment for these pretty plants which grow in bark instead of soil and prefer for that material to be damp but not wet.
If you grow your orchids indoors then watering becomes a bit more complicated since you don t water on the floor from the hose.
The best substrate for raising orchids is one that drains well.
You can always beef up your mixture a bit if you don t get the growth you should.
They love the dampness.
They re also epiphytic plants that are great for the shower.
Most other indoor plants will also love the heated bathroom.
Moth orchids are beautiful.
