Phalaenopsis Perceval

🌿 Care & Handling Tips

✅ Light

• Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• East or west-facing windows are great. If placing in a south-facing window, use a sheer curtain.

💧 Watering

• Water once the top inch of the potting mix feels dry—typically every 7–10 days.

• Avoid letting the plant sit in water. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

• Use lukewarm, distilled, or rainwater when possible.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Daytime temps: 70–80°F (21–27°C)

• Nighttime temps: 60–65°F (16–18°C)

• Humidity: 40–60%. Use a humidity tray or humidifier in dry climates.

🌬️ Air Circulation

• Ensure moderate air movement around the plant to prevent fungal issues.

🌱 Fertilizing

• Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) every 2–4 weeks during active growth.

• In winter or when not blooming, reduce frequency.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years, preferably after blooming.

• Use a loose, well-draining orchid mix (bark-based is best).

✂️ After Blooming

• You can trim the flower spike just above a node to encourage potential reblooming.

• If the spike dries out completely, cut it at the base.
