Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this species is sensitive to overwatering. Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.
Tulearia capsaintemariensis is a terrestrial orchid from Madagascar, characterized by its unique floral structures and adaptation to its native forest environment.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this species is sensitive to overwatering. Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
This encourages bushier growth.
Propagation is typically done by stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or early summer from healthy, mature stems. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep consistently moist and warm.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally with added perlite or sand. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one.
Repot in spring before active growth commences.
