The dancing lady orchid (Oncidium spp.) is a stunning flowering plant that you can grow indoors. It has the most amazing blossoms on long stems in a range of colors, including yellow, orange, red, and brown. When grown in your home, this spectacular display exudes style, luxury, and sophistication. The dancing lady orchid makes a visual statement that can't be ignored and is not easily forgotten. There are many benefits to growing orchids indoors. They can add a graceful touch to your interior decor and will also help to purify the air. Plus, they can increase the humidity in your house and could make you feel more calm and relaxed. As a bonus, orchids are one of those stunning houseplants that can help clean mold from your home's air by absorbing spores.

But one of the greatest benefits you'll get from growing this orchid indoors is the immense satisfaction you'll feel as you watch it bloom, because this is a testament to how well you've learned to care for this special plant. It's just one of those plants that will make you smile every time your eyes scan the room and spot those delightful blooms that are beckoning you to come closer and admire their absolute perfection. And as you know, smiling will always make you feel happy and brighten your mood.  Another benefit, according to the Chinese Zodiac, is that orchids are considered one of the lucky plants to have in your home and supposedly attract wealth, peace, and prosperity.

Dancing lady orchids typically grow on trees in their natural environment. So, they need fairly specific growing conditions that you need to master if you want your plant to bloom. These plants thrive in bright light, plenty of humidity, the right kind of growing medium, and controlled watering. We also suggest a store-bought potting mix specifically formulated for orchids. If your orchid isn't getting enough light, its leaves will darken. If it's getting too much, they'll start turning red. Consider placing it on an east- or west-facing window. Once you've discovered just how to successfully care for indoor orchids and how to provide your dancing lady orchid with the perfect conditions it needs, it will reward you with its stunning blooms, and you'll feel a huge sense of achievement. This is just one benefit of growing this orchid indoors.

But this stunning orchid is not just a pretty face. According to a report by Nova Southeastern University, dancing lady orchids are one species of indoor plant useful for removing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from inside buildings. These can be emitted from new carpeting and electronic equipment. Orchids, in general, are especially beneficial in absorbing carbon dioxide and turning it into oxygen that they release during the night. So, not only will your dancing lady orchid fill your home with color and make you smile every time you see it, it will also help you to breathe cleaner and fresher air.
