Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the potting medium is almost dry. Avoid letting the roots sit in water, which can lead to rot. In warmer months, watering may be more frequent.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler periods to mimic natural dormancy.
Remove spent flower spikes and any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning is minimal for this orchid. Focus on maintaining a healthy plant structure by trimming away only what is necessary to prevent disease or overcrowding.
Propagation is typically done by division when the plant becomes overcrowded. Carefully separate pseudobulbs with at least two to three healthy roots attached. Allow the cut surfaces to dry before repotting.
Repot every 1-2 years, or when the potting medium begins to break down. Use a well-draining orchid mix. Choose a pot that allows for good air circulation around the roots, typically slightly larger than the previous one.
