Watering:

-Water thoroughly when the potting medium is almost dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
-Allow for good drainage, as soggy roots are detrimental.
-Water frequency will depend on the temperature, humidity, and potting medium…..

Potting Medium:

-A well-draining orchid mix is essential. A mix of bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, and charcoal is often used.

Fertilizing:

-Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing during the plant’s dormant period (usually in winter).

Repotting:

-Repot only when necessary, about every 2-3 years, using a slightly larger pot and fresh orchid mix.
