If you cannot identify your orchid, then start with these basic care guidelines: 1  Light - Give orchids bright light, but no direct sun. 2  Water - Water them thoroughly once or twice a week -- more when it's warmer, less when it's cooler. 3  Fertilizer - Fertilize them when they are growing.  Air movement - Provide gentle air circulation for the plant.
Orchids like some rough treatment. Bang the pot on the side to remove the plants and then pull it apart. You might need to use a bit of muscle, a spade, an axe or a sharp knife. Often it s a good idea to split the orchid into two, three or four good pieces which are then perfect to re-pot.
