What am I supposed to do with my orchid???

I just got an orchid that I wanted


and I don't know what to do with it!


My mom told my that I need to water it 2-3 times a week and let it get some sunlights indirectly.


This little thingy that was in the small pot says it's mericlone and Taisuco Wonder(I thinks this indicates the kind)


Do I need to have in in a bigger pot with something in it?


(right now, the whole orhid is in a small pot that fits perfectly)


Do I need a spray to water it?


What do I do after the flowers go away?


Can I grow it in my room?


Does temperature matter a lot??





I need help~~:)

Orchids need very little water.





Get a spray bottle to mist the leaves. Deep water and drain well only when dry. They don't like their roots in water at all so don't use a saucer or tray for them. Feed them every two months with liquid fertilizer that you leave in the pot to drip feed.





Orchids don't like oversized pots with lots of room. Keep them bundled up and pot on every two or three years to a pot just a bit bigger each time.





Indirect light is best.

Reply:Leave it in the pot while it is blooming.





Put it on or near a windowsill that gets bright light. Phals can be grown in situations similar to African violets. Keep moist but not wet by watering a couple of times a week.

Reply:keep the roots bound in small pot. 2 or so times a week to water is ok but don't soak it. Small amount of food. After a few weeks transfer to "show" pot and love it. Keep at room temperature. Not the longest living plant but nice. When dead compost if poss. Start again.
Reply:Thats a lot of questions.
