FAQs

How often should I water my orchid?

Allow the compost to dry out slightly on the surface before watering. Water with tepid, soft water or rainwater.

What type of light does this orchid need?

It needs bright but indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight.

How do I encourage my orchid to rebloom?

Provide cool temperatures and less water in the autumn and early winter. Once buds form, increase watering and move to a warmer room.

Should I fertilize my orchid?

Yes, feed with orchid fertilizer throughout the growing season.

What should I do after the flowers have faded?

Trim off the spent flowers but leave the 'cane' stems.

Can I grow this orchid outdoors?

No, it is tender and suitable for indoor environments only.

What kind of potting mix is best?

Use a good orchid potting compost.

When should I repot my orchid?

Repot when the potting mix breaks down or if the plant outgrows its pot. Choose an orchid-specific potting mix and a pot with good drainage.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing leaves

Check for overwatering or underwatering. Adjust watering schedule accordingly and ensure proper drainage.

Failure to bloom

Ensure the plant is receiving adequate light. Check temperatures and watering during the autumn and early winter to mimic natural conditions.

Reduce watering, ensure proper drainage, and consider repotting with fresh orchid potting compost.
