	"Orchids should have light green leaves. Dark green leaves indicate that a plants is getting too little light; yellowish leaves indicate it is getting too much light.",
	"Insufficient light is a common reason for orchids not to bloom. The appropriate amount of light is needed to produce enough nutrient stores to power a bloom cycle.",
	"Reddish pigmentation is produced by some plants in the upper range of the correct amount of light. Slight reddish tinge is usually a sign of good light conditions.",
	"A day-to-night temperature fluctuation of 10 – 15 degrees Fahrenheit is to produce and store energy to produce beautiful and long-lasting blooms.",
	"Most in-home temperatures are acceptable for growing orchids. In general, if it feels comfortable to you, the orchids will be fine, too.",
	"Most orchids do best with daytime humidity in the range of 50% - 80%.",
	"Grouping plants also will raise the humidity in their immediate area.",
	"Air circulation is necessary to avoid rotting in high humidity – the more humidity the more air circulation is required.",
	"Air movement evaporates stagnant water and prevents fungi and bacteria from growing.",
	"Water early in the day so that the orchids are dry by nighttime.",
	"Most orchids tolerate being too dry much better than they tolerate being too wet.",
	"Paphiopediums, Miltonias, Cymbidium and Odontoglossums should be kept evenly most at all times.",
	"Cattleyas, Oncidiums, Brassias and Dendrobiums should be kept evenly moist during active growth and allowed to dry out between waterings.",
	"Phalaenopsis, Vandas and Ascocendas should be allowed to dry out between waterings.",
	"When watering, let the water run freely through the media to wash away mineral deposits and avoid salt buildup.",
	"Water with air-temperature water to avoid shocking your plants and prevent brown spotting.",
	"Never water with salt-softened water.",
	"Watering with rainwater or low-mineral content water will bring the best results.",
	"Orchids in smaller pots need more frequent watering; ones in larger sizes less. Group pot sizes together to avoid over-watering  plants in larger pots.",
	"Occasionally flush the pot with plain water to rinse away salt build up.",
	"Feed healthy plants in active growth because they have the ability to absorb and convert the food.",
	"Feed less in the winter and more in the summer when the light is brighter and the temperature is warmer.",
	"The main purpose of media in the pot is to hold the plant upright and aid in moisture retention between waterings.",
	"The best time to repot is at the beginning of the growing season. This gives the plant the best chance to grow into the new pot and secure itself.",
	"Orchids generally need repotting every one to two years depending on variety.",
	"Keep the blade of the pruning/cutting tool sharp and sterilize it before cutting into a plant.",
	"When potting an orchid, the diameter at the top should be no larger than to allow one or two years of growth.",
	"Healthy plants are better able to avoid disease and infestation. Inspect all your plants regularly to detect early signs of trouble.",
	"Cinnamon is a natural fungicide. When repotting take regular baking cinnamon and lightly dust the cut or broken roots to prevent disease.",
	"Put Styrofoam peanuts or coarser mix at the bottom of large pots to have consistent moisture level throughout the pot.",
	"Roots may grow out of pot; this is not a reason to repot. Do not remove these roots."
