Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings.

Overwatering is a common cause of root rot for this orchid.

Pruning is generally not required for Chloraea alpina. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves at the base of the plant to maintain aesthetic appeal and prevent potential disease.

Ensure clean cutting tools are used to avoid spreading any infections.

Propagation is typically done by division during repotting, usually in spring. Carefully separate the pseudobulbs, ensuring each division has at least a few healthy roots and a pseudobulb.

Allow the cut surfaces to callus before replanting.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a well-draining orchid mix. This is best done in spring, after flowering or when new growth emerges. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.
