Maintain consistent moisture, allowing the potting medium to nearly dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during the cooler, resting period to encourage blooming.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Maintain consistent moisture, allowing the potting medium to nearly dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during the cooler, resting period to encourage blooming.
Remove spent flower spikes at the base. Trim any dead or damaged pseudobulbs or leaves as needed. Avoid pruning healthy green foliage, as it stores energy for future blooms.
Propagation is typically done by division when the plant outgrows its pot. Carefully separate pseudobulbs with at least two leaves and one healthy root, and pot them individually.
Repot every two to three years, or when the potting medium begins to break down, usually after flowering. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark and perlite, in a pot that slightly accommodates the root mass.
