Water Chysis aurea thoroughly when the potting mix is nearly dry, typically every 5-7 days during active growth. Reduce watering significantly during the winter rest period, allowing the pseudobulbs to slightly shrivel.

Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water to prevent root rot.

Prune spent flower spikes of Chysis aurea close to the pseudobulb. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased pseudobulbs or leaves as they appear.

Avoid excessive pruning, as healthy pseudobulbs are essential for future blooms.

Chysis aurea is best propagated by division. When repotting, carefully separate mature pseudobulbs with at least 2-3 healthy growths. Ensure each division has viable roots and plant them in a suitable orchid mix.

Maintain high humidity after division.

Repot Chysis aurea every 2-3 years or when the potting medium begins to decompose. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as a bark-based substrate.

Repot after flowering, usually in spring or early summer, to allow roots to establish before cooler weather.
