Question

Our bathroom has no sunlight. Is it still OK to put an orchid in this room?

Answer 1

NO !!! It will die.

Answer 2

I think that orchids love moisture, but I am not certain it will fair well with no sun light at all. You'll need to either put a UV light in there, or else find another area in your home that may have low/filtered light. Every living thing (even us!) need at least some sun light .. for humans it's Vitamin D.. for plants, photosynthesis. I would reconsider, but you can always try!

Answer 3

The orchid will love the humidity in your bathroom, but it needs filtered sunlight in order to be healthy.  You could put a lamp with a grow light over it.  

Answer 4

As a general rule, most orchids do best in medium light, in an area that receives about 4 hours bright light daily. Light is probably the most crucial factor in determining whether or not your plants will flower. Producing flowers is very energetically expensive for any plant. The right amount of light is necessary for your orchid to store enough energy to fuel the production of blossoms. Without the right light levels, a plant either can’t produce enough food energy to power a blooming cycle (too little light) or it may get scorched and stressed from rapid water loss (too much light).
