    Default Almost Blooming!

    Hello friends! I know it has been a while since I was active here, but things have been going really well for my new orchid! I am getting ready for the first bloom. I have seven buds. One of them looks like it's going to open any day. Is there anything I should do for the orchid to help it along?

    They say keeping a blooming orchid out of bright light will help them last longer. I can't really say as I have to deal with 10-15% humidity and that takes its toll on them.
