Growing Tips

The very first step would be to document yourself on

  1. The natural habitat of orchids
  2. The climatic conditions of your proposed growing area.
  3. Select orchid species/hybrids that would thrive in your conditions.

The next step would be to

  1. Accommodate your growing space with adequate shading, ventilation.
  2. Choose your plants; not too young; preferably at near flowering size.
  3. Bare root plants should be potted in a suitable media which will maintain
    a good level of humidity around the roots.

Once the plants have settled in their pots:

  1. Water regularly as appropriate
  2. Apply fertilizer according to the stage of growth.
  3. Inspect plants regularly to detect pests/disease occurrence and treat
    accordingly.
