How to Care for Mini Orchids

Mini orchids thrive in warm, humid conditions with semi-dry roots to remain healthy. Put your mini orchid in a sunny spot, but avoid direct sunlight.

In addition to light, mini orchids need a warm room temperature, so keep the thermostat between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If you live in an arid area, mist the leaves every day or two to mimic humid conditions. Instead of watering your orchid, put 1 ice cube in the pot every week to keep it from getting overwatered.
