How do you care for mini orchids?
Mini Orchids like to be in indirect light that ranges from medium to bright in intensity. Keep a close eye on your plant to see how it reacts to certain types of light and move it accordingly. A North-west or South-east facing window is ideal. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves and lead to premature bud drop.
What to do with mini orchids after flowering?
After the flowers drop from the orchid you have three choices: leave the flower spike (or stem) intact, cut it back to a node, or remove it entirely. Remove the flower spike entirely by clipping it off at the base of the plant. This is definitely the route to take if the existing stem starts to turn brown or yellow.
Why is my mini orchid dying?

Do mini orchids rebloom?

Do mini orchids need sunlight?
Mini orchids need all the same things full-sized Phals need: the proper amount of water, indirect sunlight, regulated temperature and a fairly high humidity level (between 55 and 75 percent). The seasonal care for mini orchids is also comparable to full-sized plants.
