Is sticking an orchid in the window ok for it or does the window need to be open?

I have 2 African violet plants and they have been doing well. However, I just recently bought a $15 orchid plant and I want to make sure it has the best care because orchids are my favorite flowers and I don’t want to kill it because it doesn’t have enough sunlight.

Answer #1

That is fine but be sure you use the right plant food for the plant. I had 1 and it died because I had the wrong food, good luck!!

Answer #2

Just be sure and water it daily and it should be fine. (We have a green house and I’ve seen it 120 + degrees in there. Water water water) The sun coming through the window can be extra hot.

Answer #3

Check with where you bought it, but most orchids do NOT do well in direct sunlight. That’s what I was told about the one I got my girlfriend.
