Care Tips:

Environmental Needs

• Light:
  Provide bright, indirect sunlight—avoid direct sun that can burn the leaves.

• Temperature:
  Ideal ambient range is 18 °C to 30 °C (65–86 °F).

• Humidity & Airflow:
  Maintain moderate humidity (50–70%). While extra humidity isn't strictly required, ensure good air movement to prevent fungal issues.

Watering & Substrate

• Watering:
  Water when the top inch of the medium feels dry, typically every 1–2 weeks. Use distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup.

• Potting Mix:
  Use a well-draining orchid mix (e.g., bark and perlite) to ensure aeration and rapid drying.

Fertilizing & Repotting

• Fertilizer:
  Apply a balanced orchid fertilizer (like 30-10-10) at half strength every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer.

• Repotting:
  Refresh or repot once the plant has doubled in size or about once a year—fresh medium supplies needed nutrients.
