Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the potting medium is almost dry. Reduce watering significantly during the cool, dry resting period to encourage blooming. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Remove spent flower spikes at the base. Cut away any dead, dried, or damaged pseudobulbs and leaves to maintain plant health and aesthetics. Do not prune healthy green growth.
Propagate by division. Carefully separate mature pseudobulbs with at least two or three healthy growths and roots. Pot individual divisions into suitable orchid mix.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a well-draining orchid mix. Repot after flowering, typically in spring, to avoid disturbing new growth.
