โ๏ธ Light and watering conditions for orchids
๐ Light:
The orchid loves strong, filtered light . Direct sunlight is not allowed, otherwise the leaves will burn.
๐ Recommended location: near an east or west window, with a transparent curtain.
๐ง Irrigation according to the seasons:
-
Spring-Summer: Water once a week, when the roots are gray โ a sign that water is needed.
-
FallโWinter: Water every 10โ14 days, depending on the dryness of the air.
๐งช It is important to water the orchid substrate (wood bark/sphagnum) directly and let the water drain completely.
Never leave water in a flowerpot!
๐ชด Daily orchid care โ cleaning, fertilizing, and potting
โ๏ธ Cleaning leaves: Wipe gently once every two weeks with a damp cloth โ the orchid likes to be clean and shiny ๐
๐ฟ Fertilization: Once every two weeks with a fertilizer specifically for orchids โ a weak, diluted fertilizer.
๐ชด Transfer to a new pot: Every two years or when the substrate breaks down - it is mandatory to transfer to a special orchid substrate with good ventilation for the roots.
โ๏ธ Orchid pruning and propagation
โ๏ธ After flowering is complete โ cut the stem above the second or third leaf joint (depending on height), to allow for re-flowering.
If the stem has completely dried out, prune to the base.
๐ฑ Propagation: Not easy โ only possible by separating a "kiki" (small shoot) that emerges from the flowering stem, and only when it develops its own roots.
