'I discovered the best location for an orchid in my house and it's a beautiful spot away from the window'

Speaking about the beautiful houseplant, Frankie said: "We all love them. They're reliable, their blooms last for a long period of time, they're beautiful and they come in multiple colours."

The RHS stated: "Moth orchids, Phalaenopsis, are the most widely grown houseplant orchids – they’re well-suited to our centrally heated homes, producing exotic displays of large blooms that can last for months. They’re an ideal choice for beginners and should flower regularly with minimal maintenance."

If you want beautiful blooms, making the correct choice when it comes to placement is essential.

Orchid enthusiast Frankie dispelled a popular myth about placing an orchid by a window.

Answering the question, "Where is the best location for an orchid in my home?', the expert said: "Sometimes people think you want to put it right in front of the window.

"But no, it's a bright room - a room that actually has bright natural light but is away from a window.

"The key is, you want to keep it away from drafts or any cold temperatures. The other things we want to keep them away from are heating vents or fireplaces - anything that's going to alter the temperature."

The RHS shared some important info for orchid fans so they can ensure happy houseplants.

The experts advised: "Most houseplant orchids like bright light, but not direct sun, such as on a north- or east-facing windowsill.

"They like regular watering and misting, preferably with rainwater or boiled water rather than tap water. Many need to be grown in bark-based orchid compost, rather than traditional houseplant compost.

"Most indoor orchids dislike direct sun or too little light, usually preferring a happy medium in between. Tropical orchids don't fare well in very dry air, so mist the leaves regularly.

"Tap water can be harmful, so use boiled water or rainwater if possible, and never leave them standing in water, as this can rot the roots. Cold draughts may cause the flower buds to drop."
