🌿 Care Guide
☀️ Light
Keep in bright, filtered light.
Gentle morning sunlight is beneficial.
Protect from strong afternoon sun.
Good light is important for healthy growth and flowering.
💧 Watering
Water thoroughly when the growing medium begins to dry.
During hot weather, the plant may need more frequent watering.
Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.
Always use a pot with good drainage.
🌡️ Temperature*
Suitable for *warm to moderately warm conditions*.
A general range of *18–32°C* works well.
Protect from extreme heat and cold.
Good air circulation is especially important in humid weather.
💦 Humidity
Moderate to high humidity is suitable, around 50–70%.
Ensure good airflow to prevent fungal and bacterial problems.
*🌱 Potting Mix
Use a loose, well-draining orchid medium such as:
Orchid bark
Coco chips
Charcoal
Perlite or another aerating material
🌼 Fertilizer
Feed with a *balanced orchid fertilizer* during active growth according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Do not over-fertilize.
Periodic watering with plain water helps flush excess fertilizer salts from the medium.
🪴 Repotting
Repot when the growing medium starts to decompose or drainage becomes poor.
A new pot should have adequate drainage holes.
Avoid unnecessarily disturbing healthy roots.
