Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the potting medium consistently moist but not waterlogged during active growth. Reduce watering significantly when the plant enters dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases, especially in cooler conditions.
Remove faded flower spikes at the base once blooming is complete. Dead or yellowing leaves can also be trimmed off using clean, sharp scissors.
This promotes good air circulation and directs the plant's energy towards future growth and flowering.
Propagation is typically done by dividing mature pseudobulbs during repotting. Ensure each division has at least two to three pseudobulbs and some healthy roots.
Flasking of seeds is also possible but requires specialized laboratory conditions.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting mix begins to break down. The best time is after flowering, when new root growth is evident. Use a well-draining orchid mix.
Ensure the pot is not too large, as orchids prefer to be slightly pot-bound.
