H2 The Real Reason You’ll Fail (At Least, At First)
- Overwatering: Less common, but more telling

- Social identity > actual care
- Study says 3/4 first-timers blame "light" when it's humidity
H2 Safety & Culture Check
- Don’t chase likes before plants thrive
- Educate yourself before swiping
- Avoid comparing to legends
H2 The Bottom Line Orchids are wild - grow like it. But here’s the truth: the name "orchid first-timer" isn’t a title. It’s a warning. Are you ready for the slow burn?
