The orchid grows well at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Place the plant in a bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight during the summer months (April through August). Watering? Submerge the nursery pot in a shallow layer of water once a week for 10 minutes. Then allow the orchid to drain thoroughly before placing it back in its decorative pot. If your orchid is part of an arrangement, place two ice cubes next to the leaves twice a week. For optimal blooming, feed the orchid once a month. With proper care, you can enjoy your orchid for 3–6 months.

Did you know that orchids are sometimes fitted with a pot mesh? This fine net is placed around the nursery pot during cultivation. It prevents fungus gnats from laying eggs that can develop into larvae, which may damage the roots. This protects the plant in a natural, environmentally friendly way, without the use of pesticides. In addition, the mesh helps keep the bark neatly in the pot, keeping the surroundings clean. You can leave it on or remove it—whichever you prefer.
