It is unlikely that anyone would refuse to have an incredibly beautifully blooming orchid at home.

If you want to have a pot with exactly this flower on your windowsill, provide it with the appropriate care, advises the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Lighting is one of its most important parts.

Experts unanimously state: the light for an orchid should be bright, but at the same time the plant should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

If the plant lacks light, it is likely that you will not be able to admire the orchid flowers.

How can we know if a plant is comfortable in the conditions it is currently in?

To do this, you need to use the shade of the orchid leaves as a guide, which have different color saturation depending on the condition of the plant.

If you notice that the leaves of the flower have a light shade, this means that the orchid has enough light that it receives, and vice versa.
