Water thoroughly when the growing medium is nearly dry, typically every 7-10 days during active growth.

Reduce watering significantly during the winter rest period, allowing the potting mix to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Ensure good air circulation to help the roots dry.

Pruning is generally not required for Brassavola tuberculata. Remove any dead, dried, or damaged pseudobulbs or leaves at the base of the plant using sterile cutting tools.

This helps maintain the plant's health and appearance. Avoid cutting healthy foliage.

Propagate by division when the plant becomes overcrowded, typically during repotting. Ensure each division has at least 3-4 healthy pseudobulbs and some viable roots.

Allow the cut surfaces to dry for a day or two before repotting into a suitable orchid medium.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the potting medium begins to decompose or the plant outgrows its container. The best time is after flowering when new root growth is evident.

Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark chips and perlite, and ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.
