If your orchid is struggling repeatedly, consider switching to a more forgiving orchid species such as Phalaenopsis, which is known for being easier to care for than some exotic varieties like Cattleya or Vanda. Alternatively, try mounting orchids on bark slabs for better air circulation if you live in a humid climate.
