Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water when the potting medium is nearly dry, typically once a week during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Remove spent flower spikes and any dead or damaged leaves or roots. Pruning is minimal and mainly for maintaining plant health and appearance.
Propagation is typically done by division of mature pseudobulbs during repotting. Each division should have at least three healthy pseudobulbs and some roots.
Repot every 1-2 years after flowering, or when the potting medium begins to break down. Use a fresh, well-draining orchid mix and a pot that just accommodates the root system.
