There are no universal instructions for orchid care. Many plants will thrive under varying conditions, but cultural requirements vary considerably between plastic pot, clay pot and mounted on a cork slab. In the attachments on this page, I have added my notes to those of the AOS (American Orchid Society) culture sheets.
NOTE: My notes are based on growing in Essex & Hunterdon counties in NJ.
- In coastal NJ you can take the plants outside earlier
- In PA & upstate NY somewhat later.
