Growing Guide
Position
Place in a bright position with plenty of indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct midday sunshine, which may scorch the leaves, while very low light can reduce flowering.
Watering
Water thoroughly when the growing medium begins to dry, allowing excess water to drain away completely. Reduce watering after flowering during the plant's resting period, then increase again as new growth develops. Never leave the pot standing in water.
Compost
Grow in a specialist orchid bark compost that allows excellent air movement around the roots. Repot only when the compost begins to break down or the plant outgrows its container.
Temperature and Humidity
Maintain temperatures between 16–24°C in a bright room away from cold draughts and direct heat sources. Average indoor humidity is suitable, although slightly higher humidity encourages healthy growth.
Routine Care
Remove spent flower stems only once they have completely finished flowering, but retain healthy green canes as they store energy for future blooms. Feed with an orchid fertiliser during active growth following the manufacturer's recommendations.
Perfect For
- Bright living rooms.
- Home offices.
- Coffee tables and shelving.
- Contemporary interior displays.
- Gifts for special occasions.
Good to Know
This is a mixed selection, so flower colour and pattern will vary between individual plants. Healthy green canes should not be removed after flowering, as they help support future growth and flowering.
