🌿 Cultivation Tips for Blc. Pink Empress 'Bright Sun':

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light (2,000–3,000 foot-candles). Morning sun or shaded afternoon sun is ideal. Too little light may prevent flowering.

• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions:

  • Day: 70–85°F (21–29°C)

  • Night: 55–65°F (13–18°C)

• Humidity: Maintain 50–70% humidity. Use a humidity tray or humidifier as needed, and ensure gentle air movement to avoid stagnant conditions.

• Watering: Water thoroughly when the potting medium becomes slightly dry. During active growth, this may be once or twice a week depending on climate and potting mix.

• Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix—typically bark, perlite, and charcoal. Repot every 2–3 years or when new growth appears after blooming.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 2 weeks with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or similar) during active growth. Flush with plain water once a month to prevent salt buildup.
