PLANT CARE
 |
5–24°C (40°–75°F) |
 |
Shaded Light |
 |
Moderate to High Humudity |
 |
From spring to late summer, water once or twice a week in the morning using tepid rainwater or distilled water (see Brassia watering method on p110). Reduce watering to every 2 weeks in early autumn to stimulate flower buds to form; in winter, do not water but mist occasionally to prevent the pseudobulbs (swellings at the base of the plant) from shrivelling. Set on a tray of damp pebbles from early spring to late summer |
ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
