What, as a Super Moderator, is your opinion on the most important aspects in producing and maintaining healthy, long-lived plants?

I'm a mod because I'm here a lot, and having been a member a while it seemed unlikely I would abuse it hehe - I've been growing orchids a few years (8 I believe), so I'm not completely new to it, but there are many members with much more growing experience than I, and I'm still learning from them!
So - with that, I would say - learn about the type of orchid you are growing, or wish to grow, decide if you can provide what it needs to thrive, and do your best to do that. Temps, light, water. (I'm less concerned about humidity than some other people, tho constant extremely low humidity could be problematic. But, my orchids get whatever humidity the air here provides - can be quite low during summer days, but does go up quite a bit at night usually, and hasn't seemed to be a problem with the orchids I grow - I suppose there may be some orchids it could be a problem for tho. Of course, I don't have too many mounted orchids) For all non-terrestrial orchids, good aeration for the roots. Consistent care.
I'm sure others can add to this
