Hi everyone,
I recently lost two orchids to root rot. However, I also discovered that I did several things wrong when I was taking care of those orchids. The first was a watering issue. I'm pretty sure that's what caused the root rot.
I want to focus on the second issue, and that was light conditions. My orchids leaves were always a dark green color. After doing research, I realized that this was as sign that they were not getting enough light. I had them in the brightest room in the house. Even then, it was not enough light. I was told and I also read that they cannot tolerate direct sunlight. I don't know if this is true or not.
Anyway, I don't have the light conditions in my house for an orchid. However, I still want to grow orchids. So here's my question, is it possible to use grow lights for an orchid?
Just curious.
Jared
