Care Instructions for Foxtail Orchid (Rhynchostylis Coelestis)
1. Light Requirements: Requires bright, indirect light, similar to dappled sunlight in its native tropical habitat. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. A shaded spot outdoors or near a bright window indoors is ideal.
2. Watering: Water the plant thoroughly 2-3 times a week during the growing season. Allow roots to dry slightly between watering to prevent root rot. Reduce watering during the cooler months.
3. Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels (50-80%). Increase humidity by misting, using a humidity tray, or placing the plant near a humidifier.
4. Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
5. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer every 2 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce fertilizing frequency to once a month in fall and winter.
6. Mounting and Potting: Can be grown in a hanging basket, on a mount with sphagnum moss, or in a free-draining potting mix designed for orchids. Ensure adequate airflow around the roots for optimal growth.
7. Pruning: Trim off dead or yellowing leaves and spent flower spikes to maintain plant health and aesthetics.
