- Use room-temperature water and allow it to drain completely.
- Never leave the nursery pot standing in water.
- Avoid allowing water to collect between the leaves or inside the central crown.
- Keep away from strong air-conditioning, heaters, and sudden temperature changes.
- Use only a loose, bark-based orchid mix, not ordinary potting soil.
- Apply a diluted orchid fertilizer during active growth.
- Do not cut healthy aerial roots extending outside the pot.
- After flowering, trim the flower spike above a healthy lower node to encourage possible reblooming.
