💗Orchid Grow and Care Instructions 💗

*Please Note : Orchid seeds are EXTREMELY TEENY TINY (DUST LIKE)!!! In fact, orchid seeds are the smallest of all flowering plants!!! Please be careful when opening!!! I recommend opening their package over a white piece of paper, in a draft/wind free environment.

~ Grow Instructions ~

• Step 1: Combine 4 parts peat moss, 3 parts sphagnum moss, 1 part perlite and 1 part mycorrhizal fungi granules to create a well-draining, soilless growing medium that will encourage the seeds to germinate successfully. Add the soilless growing medium to a 4-inch planting container; choose a container with at least two 1/4-inch holes in the bottom to ensure healthy drainage.
• Step 2: Hold the planting container under room-temperature running water until you see it streaming from the drainage holes. Leave the container in the sink for five to 10 minutes to allow any excess water to drain from the growing medium.
• Step 3: Mix the seeds with the horticultural sand. Then pour it evenly over the surface of the moistened soil. Sprinkle the sand and seed mixture evenly over the surface of the moistened growing medium.
• Step 4: Position the seeds in a site that receives filtered sunlight for at least five hours a day. Water the seeds as often as necessary to keep the growing medium lightly moistened; provide 1/2 cup of water each time you irrigate.
• Step 5: Transplant the seedlings to individual 6-inch planting containers when they grow to 6 to 8 inches. Fill the containers with a mixture of 4 parts peat moss, 3 parts sphagnum moss, 2 parts loam, 1 part perlite, 1 part redwood bark and 1 part mycorrhizal fungi granules. Plant the seedlings at the same depth they grew in their original container.

~ Care Instructions ~

Light: Moderate to bright light, no direct sun. They need bright, indirect sunlight to bloom. They also do well under fluorescent lights.

Water: Keep mix evenly moist at all times. They prefer more moisture than epiphytic orchids. And if you keep your orchid under grow lights, it’ll need watering more often. Just don't overdo it. Too-frequent watering can cause root rot.

Humidity: Requires moist air - preferably 50-60% relative humidity. Set a pot on a tray of wet pebbles and mist leaves daily with room-temperature water. Or use a room humidifier. Dry air can be deadly to orchids. A wet pebble tray, cool-mist room humidifier or regular misting will help to maintain at least 50% humidity that will keep your orchids happy. Coming together as a group raises the humidity around these moisture-loving orchids. Or perhaps they just like the distinguished company.

Temperature: 60-65°F/16-18°C nights and 75-80°F/24-27°C days. To ensure blooming, give your orchid slightly cooler nighttime temperatures. A 15° difference will do.

Soil: Orchid potting mix or 2 parts fine-grade fir bark: 1 part perlite or sand: 1 part sphagnum moss.

Fertilizer: Feed with an organic orchid fertilizer, or fish emulsion, twice a month during the growing season.

Propagation: Division. Pull or cut the fans of the leaves apart into clumps of at least 2-3 growths.
