Water thoroughly when the potting medium is nearly dry, typically every 7-14 days. Avoid letting the roots sit in stagnant water, which can cause rot. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.

Use room temperature, distilled, or rainwater for best results.

Remove spent flower spikes at the base of the plant. If a spike continues to show green nodes after flowering, you may prune it above a node to encourage a secondary bloom, though this can weaken the plant.

Remove any yellowed or dead leaves at their base.

Phalaenopsis orchids are typically propagated by division when the plant becomes large and overcrowded. Gently separate the pseudobulbs, ensuring each section has at least two or three healthy pseudobulbs and roots.

This is best done during repotting.

Repot every 1-2 years, or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a well-draining orchid bark mix.

Gently remove old medium, trim any rotten roots, and place the plant in a slightly larger pot or divide it if overcrowded. Water sparingly after repotting.
