A good rule of thumb: water your orchid once every 7–10 days in warm weather and every 10–14 days in cooler months. Always water in the morning so any excess moisture on leaves can evaporate during the day, preventing rot.

Other Common Reasons Your Orchid May Be Dying
1. Too Much or Too Little Light
Orchids need bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight will scorch the leaves, turning them yellow or brown with crispy edges. On the other hand, too little light will prevent blooming and cause the plant to become leggy and weak. A spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal.
