5. Potting Mix: Use a well-draining orchid potting mix consisting of materials like bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite. Repot your Prosavola Notell every 1-2 years to refresh the growing medium.

6. Fertilization: Feed your plant with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding frequency during the dormant period.

7. Blooming: Anticipation builds as summer approaches, heralding the arrival of delicate yellow petals and sepals complemented by strikingly large, trumpet-shaped white lips. Ensure adequate light and proper care to encourage prolific blooming.
