7. Temperature and Humidity
Orchids love moderate temperatures and will die if they’re too cold. Aim to keep your home around 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night and 10-15 degrees warmer during the daytime. Orchids may not like having wet roots but, being a tropical plant, they love humidity. Pick up a hydrometer from the local garden center and test your home. The ideal environment for orchids is 40-60% humidity. If it’s less than this, place a water-filled saucer below the plant or mist your orchid daily.
