During the growing season, it can be watered every two or three days;During the flowering period, it is necessary to reduce watering appropriately and keep the soil moist.
Proper fertilization. If you want the orchid to bloom, fertilization is essential. During the growing season, apply well-rotted organic fertilizer, or compound fertilizer, every 10 days or so. Before flowering, phosphorus fertilizer should be applied to promote flower bud differentiation.
