Care Tips
-
Planting InstructionsKeep the supplied hoop; repot only when roots circle the pot. Choose a container 1–2 inches wider with drainage holes. Set the trellis firmly in the pot and gently tie new shoots as they extend.
-
Soil MoistureWater thoroughly, then allow the top 1 inch of mix to dry before watering again. Keep evenly moist in growth and bloom; reduce slightly in winter. Never leave the pot sitting in water.
-
Soil TypeRich, well-draining, slightly acidic mix: 2 parts quality peat/coco potting mix + 1 part fine orchid bark + 1 part perlite; target pH 6.0–6.5.
-
HumidityPrefers 50–70% RH. Use a pebble tray or humidifier; provide gentle air movement. Avoid misting open flowers to prevent spotting.
-
Pruning InstructionsAfter flowering, tip-pinch to encourage branching and maintain the hoop shape. Remove weak or tangled shoots. Avoid heavy pruning right before bud set.
-
Winter CareBrightest possible light with cooler nights (55–65°F / 13–18°C) encourages bud formation. Protect from drafts, heat vents, and sudden temperature swings.
-
Planting DepthSet at the same depth as in the nursery pot; keep the crown slightly above the soil line to prevent rot. Do not bury stems.
-
FertilizationFeed every 4–6 weeks in spring–early fall with a balanced (e.g., 3–1–2) or bloom formula at half strength. Flush the pot with clear water every 6–8 weeks to prevent salt buildup; pause feeding in midwinter.
-
Special CareAvoid rotating or relocating once buds form. Use tepid, low-mineral water. Provide a sturdy support and wipe leaves periodically. Monitor for mealybugs/scale; treat early with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap.
