CARE GUIDE
Zygopetalum orchids are known for their richly coloured, fragrant flowers and lush foliage. They prefer cooler conditions and consistent care.
Follow these simple tips to keep your orchid healthy and blooming:
Light
Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sunlight.
Water
Water the potting mix regularly to keep it evenly moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent waterlogging. Do not allow it to dry out completely.
Temperature
Prefers cool to intermediate temperatures: 12–24°C. Cooler nights help promote flowering.
Humidity
Enjoys moderate to high humidity with good air circulation.
Potting Mix
Use a free-draining orchid bark mix, not regular soil.
Fertilizer
Feed with orchid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during active growth.
Pruning
After flowering, remove spent flower spikes and trim away any dead or damaged growth.
Repotting
Repot every 1–2 years, ideally after flowering or when the potting mix begins to break down.
