Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of the potting medium feels dry. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.
Remove spent flower spikes and any dead or damaged leaves or pseudobulbs. Pruning is minimal and mainly for plant health and aesthetics.
Propagation is typically done by division of mature pseudobulbs during repotting. Seed propagation is complex and usually reserved for commercial growers.
Repot every 1-2 years after flowering, or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a fresh orchid mix and a pot that just accommodates the root system.
