Care tips:

Location:
Windowsill partially shaded in summer. Only in winter with full light. Green-leaved varieties can grow outdoors in a shady spot, where they are also exposed to rain and dew, from early June to September. Then they bloom better.

Normal room temperature. Dropping to around 15°C at night.

Pour:
Always keep the planting material moist in summer. Water more carefully in winter, but never let it dry out completely. Do not use water that is too hard.

Fertilize:
During the growth phase from March to October every 14 days with orchid fertilizer
Do not fertilize in the dark period (November - February).
