🌿 Cultivation Tips for Blc. Chang Ding Red Dragon:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect to filtered light (2,000–3,000 foot-candles). An east- or south-facing window is ideal. Strong light is key for blooming, but protect from harsh midday sun.

• Temperature: Grows best in intermediate to warm conditions:

  • Day: 70–85°F (21–29°C)

  • Night: 55–65°F (13–18°C)

• Humidity: Maintain 50–70% humidity with good air movement. Use a fan or open window to promote healthy air circulation.

• Watering: Water thoroughly when the potting medium is nearly dry. Avoid overwatering—let roots dry slightly between waterings.

• Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as medium-grade bark, perlite, and charcoal. Repot every 2–3 years or when new root growth begins after blooming.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or similar) every two weeks during the growing season. Flush with plain water monthly to prevent salt buildup.
