🌿 Cultivation Tips for Cattleya NSA Big China
🌡️ Temperature:
Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions. Daytime temperatures between 70–85°F (21–29°C) and nighttime lows of 55–65°F (13–18°C) are ideal.
💧 Watering:
Water thoroughly during the growing season, allowing the potting medium to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months when the plant’s growth slows.
🌫️ Humidity:
Prefers humidity levels around 50–70%. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal diseases.
💡 Light:
Requires bright, indirect light—about 2,000 to 3,000 foot-candles. Avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn. East or west-facing windows are excellent.
🌱 Potting Medium & Repotting:
Use a well-draining orchid mix such as medium fir bark with perlite or charcoal. Repot every 1–2 years or when the potting medium begins to break down.
🌼 Fertilizing:
Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2 weeks during active growth. Flush the potting medium monthly to avoid salt buildup.
