10. Keeping the Pests Away
Just like you, bugs love orchids too, especially mealybugs and scale insects. If these insects are attacking your orchid, you’ll begin to notice sticky leaves and a black, soot-like mold. Remove what you can by hand and clean the affected leaves with a small amount of soapy water. If the bugs are stubborn and won’t go away, pick up an insecticide that’s safe to use on orchids.
Take good care of your orchid, and your home will be blessed with beautiful flowers for weeks or even months every year.
