2. Getting Your Orchid Home
Whether you receive your first orchid as a gift or purchase it yourself, it will probably be in bloom. Unfortunately, many are sold in pots that are not appropriate for long-term growth. They tend to come in plastic and are potted in moss. Orchids love to grow on trees with fresh air flowing around their roots. Encasing the roots in moss keeps them wet, which can lead to problems such as root rot. You may be eager to repot your orchid straight away but now is not the time.
