Caring for a 60-70cm Phalaenopsis 'Long Apollo' orchid in a 12cm pot involves specific guidelines to ensure its health and flourishing beauty. The 'Long Apollo' variant of Phalaenopsis orchid is known for its long-lasting flowers and graceful appearance. Here's a detailed care guide:
Lighting: Phalaenopsis orchids, including 'Long Apollo', thrive in bright, indirect light. Position near an east or west-facing window, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 18°C to 24°C. Ensure the plant is protected from drafts and extremes of heat or cold.
Humidity: High humidity is preferable. You can use a humidity tray or a humidifier to maintain the appropriate level, especially in dry environments.
Watering: Water about once a week, allowing the top inch of the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season, reducing to monthly during autumn and winter.
Potting Mix and Repotting: Employ an orchid-specific potting mix for proper drainage and aeration. Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting medium starts to break down.
Flowering: After the flowers have fallen, encourage new blooms by cutting the stem above a node. If the stem dries out or turns yellow, trim it to the base.
General Maintenance: Keep the leaves clean and inspect regularly for pests. Good air circulation is crucial to prevent diseases.
Following these care instructions should help your Phalaenopsis 'Long Apollo' orchid to thrive, bringing an elegant touch to your indoor space. Remember, each orchid may require slight adjustments in care based on its specific environment and response.
