How to Grow Rhynchostylis Foxtail Orchid

• Rhynchostylis orchids are epiphytic plants that grow on tree trunks in hot, tropical climates.
• Foxtail orchid plants do not tolerate direct sunlight well, but thrive in filtered or speckled light.
• They can tolerate brighter indoor light in the fall and winter.
• Plants grow well in clay pots with side drainage or in wooden baskets filled with coarse bark or lava rocks that do not decompose easily.
• Use a medium that will last four to five years to avoid frequent repotting. Do not repot the orchid until the plant begins to grow on the sides of the container.

Foxtail Orchid Care

• Moisture is the key and the plant should be sprayed or watered daily.
• Be careful not to leave the soil soggy; too wet soil can cause root rot, which is usually fatal.
• Feed the Rhynchostylis foxtail orchids every two watering, using a balanced fertilizer with an NPK ratio, such as 20-20-20.
• Do not overfeed and be sure to fertilize the orchid after watering, as fertilizer applied to dry soil can burn the plant.
