"a seedling or a young plant that is several years away from blooming. Not only is it very discouraging to wait for the bloom, it is also much easier to keep a blooming size orchid alive and prospering.
... Orchid flowers last the longest if they are displayed in bright light but protected from sun shining directly on them. A shaded south-facing window is ideal. ... an orchid's roots need air and must not be kept soggy.. be sure to ask the seller what kind of care your new orchid will need."
