Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water when the potting medium is nearly dry, typically once a week during active growth. Use room-temperature, distilled, or rainwater for best results. Reduce frequency in winter.
Remove spent flower spikes and any dead or damaged leaves or pseudobulbs. Pruning is generally minimal, focusing on maintaining plant health and removing unsightly parts.
Propagate by division of mature pseudobulbs during repotting. Each division should have at least three healthy pseudobulbs and sufficient roots to establish.
Repot every 1-2 years after flowering, or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a fresh, well-draining orchid mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
