Orchids are sensitive plants sometimes. It just depends are they from frog free tanks? Then you don't have to bleach them just rinse them. Wash them in the water then rinse really good and place on sphagnum moss to dry a bit. Keep the roots moist. Make sure water temp is rt. As far a 10% solution. I just have washed mine with a cup of bleach to a five gal bucket.

Mount orchids on to something. Planting in soil will kill most of them. A lot of them are really sensitive.

Search some orchid sites for great ideas, I am no expert on them.

Oh yeah wash any soil off. Some people grow in fertilized soil?
