How much light do orchids need?
Like most plants, optimal light is the absolute key to keeping orchids happy.
Under no circumstances, place the orchid in direct sunlight, as they will get sunburnt! It can happen in a matter of hours, so keep your eyes on the light the orchid is receiving. An ideal place for the orchid to live is in a room that stays at a consistent temperature through the day, away from drafts, fruit and where it can receive indirect sunlight.Ideal lights for orchids.
