Accompany this rarity from young plant to blooming beauty.
Care tips:
Location:
A window spot that is bright and warm. Only provide some shade when the leaves are more than lukewarm in the sunlight. In summer, you can also plant outdoors in a sheltered spot. Also ideal for the winter garden.
Temperature:
Temperatures should not fall below 15°C or exceed 30°C for long periods of time. Less light should also be used with less heat. In winter, temperatures should not exceed 18°C.
Pour:
Only when the planting material has dried out (turned light) should you water it again vigorously until the water runs out of the pot. Use lukewarm water with little hardness or boiled water. Do not leave it standing in water! Keep it drier in winter.
Fertilize:
During the growth period from March to October, feed orchid fertilizer every 14 days
Do not fertilize during the low-light period (November – February).
