Orchids, typically seen on tables, can be perfect hanging plants, mimicking their natural tree-dwelling habit.
Epiphytic orchids, like Cattleya, Phalaenopsis, and Oncidium, are ideal for hanging baskets due to their air plant nature.
Choose a container that allows excellent drainage and air circulation, crucial for the health of epiphytic orchids.
Use a potting mix that provides excellent drainage and air circulation, such as pre-mixed orchid bark.
Secure your orchid in its hanging basket until it roots, using orchid clips or floral wire to keep it steady.
Orchids prefer filtered or indirect light, mimicking the light conditions of their natural tree-dwelling environment.
Establish a watering schedule and ensure a humidity level above 50% for your orchids to thrive.
