Scaphyglottis CrurigeraScaphyglottis crurigera

Water thoroughly when the potting medium is nearly dry. Avoid allowing Scaphyglottis crurigera to sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, less active growth periods, but do not let it dry out completely.

Pruning is minimal for Scaphyglottis crurigera. Remove spent flower spikes and any yellowed or dead pseudobulbs or leaves as needed. This helps maintain plant health and appearance.

Avoid heavy pruning to prevent stressing the plant.

Propagation is typically done through division of mature clumps. When the plant has outgrown its pot, carefully separate it into smaller sections, ensuring each piece has several pseudobulbs and healthy roots.

Pot these divisions into their own containers.

Repot Scaphyglottis crurigera every 2-3 years or when the potting medium begins to break down. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark or sphagnum moss.

Repotting is best done after flowering or at the beginning of the active growing season.
