My orchids leaves are turning yellow and dropping off, and the flowers are curling up. I water it once a week and make sure it has

drained well before returning it to it’s decorative pot. It gets indirect light and the temp is 70 to 72. Any suggestions??

How much to water an orchid depends on how humid your house is. When the furnace or air conditioner is running, it may need weekly watering. I’m sure have heard the idea of watering with 3 ice cubes but 1/4 C will do the deed as well. No more. Is the orchid in a special potting mix for orchids? Do you fertilize in the growing season?
