Design Ideas: Adding Orchids To Spaces Without A Lot Of Light

Orchids can bring a beautiful, clean, simplistic beauty to a space. Whether it’s your home entryway or your office desk, these amazing flowers symbolize independence and strength. Just adding a single orchid to a space can brighten it up quickly or even help improve the feng shui of any room.

Live orchids, while relatively low maintenance, do have some light requirements. If you’re thinking about adding a live orchid to your environment, be sure to place it in a space where it can get enough light throughout the day, while not drying it out.

South and East-facing windows generally are best. West facing windows can give too much sunlight, while North facing windows might be a bit too dark.
