how to grow my small orchid plant?
I received a gift yesterday. Samurai 'Warrior' orchid the tag said Proprietary Variety.
It is in a glazed ceramic pot, with soil and green moss covering it, and in the holes on the side of this pot. How do I take care of it. Is it indeed an orchid that grows on the ground? I want this orchid to thrive, it has beautiful flowers and their fragance is wonderful and was a gift from a very special friend. Please help, any information, suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated. |

The full name for your orchids is Bakerara Samurai 'Warrior' - Bakerara being a blend of 4 different oncidiums. Generally these will like bright indirect light, evenly moist, not sodden. Keep out of drafts. They like the humidity and temperatures one finds in a home or office. In winter I let tjhem get a little drier, but again not getting completly dry. Feed them whatever you feed any of your other plants, just at half strength. K Barrett |
Orchid seeds are extremely small, almost looking like dust. People who raise them from seed generally do so in sterilized closed flasks, and they take years to grow to a mature size and bloom.

Orchids love a high humidity room with the morning sun hitting them only and a little water every second day.
