Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage optimal growth and blooming. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the delicate petals.
-
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night to mimic its natural habitat.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of the potting medium feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.
-
Humidity: Create a humid environment, preferably between 50-70%, to mimic the orchid's tropical origins. Regular misting or using a humidifier can help maintain adequate moisture levels.
-
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.
-
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, preferably after flowering, using a well-draining orchid mix. Repotting allows for fresh nutrients and ample space for root growth.
-
Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent the onset of fungal diseases and promote healthy growth.
