General Growing Tips


Light The amount of light required by each orchid varies. This can be researched based on the species. However, as a general rule, never expose orchids to direct sunlight as this can lead to burning of plant tissue.
Temperature The temperature requirement also varies based on whether the orchid is cool, warm or intermediate growing. However, most orchids grow comfortably in 18-22 degrees celsius.
Humidity Most orchids prefer moderate to high humidity. Hence, the relative humidity should be between 60 to 90 percent.
Air Circulation

It is important that plenty or air circulation is provided to prevent diseases. 
Diseases and Pests Monitor orchids regularly for signs of disease and pests. If there is any evidence of disease or pests, treat with a suitable agent such as a fungicide for fungal infections and eco-oil for pests.
Nutrition Orchids are extremely slow-growing and require fertiliser to grow. Ensure that you use a balanced orchid fertiliser regularly to ensure growth. Use a fertiliser that contains micronutrients.
Dormancy

Some orchid species such as catasetums are deciduous, meaning they drop their leaves and rest in winter. Reduce watering and cease fertilising in this period.
Repotting It is encouraged that you repot orchids only when the plant is outgrowing the pot. An orchid needs to be repotted when roots start growing outside of the pot vigorously and the pot swells or cracks. Only use a pot that is one size larger than the previous pot. Do not repot seedlings immediately upon receiving them as this can slow down growth and may cause transplant shock. When repotting, chose a pot with drainage holes so that water does not pool and cause rotting of roots.
