Years later, someone gave me an orchid...it died.
I thought there was more to orchid growing success than I was willing to invest at the time, I put it on the back burner of my to do list, the "one day" list.
Revival of the orchids entered this spring when I was gifted a white orchid for Mothers' Day, and then in early June I inherited my neighbor's pink orchid because she was moving away. These two orchid plants provided me with the most gorgeous orchid flowers until late July. Then they rested...
Some of the information I read online is totally opposite of how to care for them, therefore, I choose to trust several sights that agree and plan to follow their advice. I am a student in the orchid nursery for now, but I am not giving up; I gave in to the temptation and purchased another one last week, and one of my other orchids is putting out another bloom!

Good luck! When my husband died I was given so many many orchids, many of which continued their beautiful gifts for months. Eventually I killed most of them! But I have occasionally managed to get some to bloom again, and I even buy one from time to time, especially at Christmas when Costco often has giant white ones that make a lovely decoration...
