Orchids are supposed to be a family symbol, o good at weddings. I am babysitting this orchid plant, following the watering directions but it has lost all its blooms and is dying. Should it be in direct sun? Anyboy know anything about these orchid plants that I have only seen on the market this year?

the blooms only last so long, even thought orchids are long-blooming plants. it is not dying. no absolutely NO DIRECT SUN. do not over water. orchids grow in nature in rain forest conditions in the understory, they never get direct light - only filtered light - and usually only get watered by ambient humidity. it should be fine, its probably only going dormant.

are you spritzing it with water? They really like that- and diffused sunlight- bathrooms with florescent lights are good locations for orchids.
