Care Instructions for Ground Orchid – Spathoglottis Plicata (Purple White)
To help your Spathoglottis Plicata (Purple White) thrive, follow these care tips:
Light Requirements: The Ground Orchid prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate partial shade but will produce more vibrant flowers with adequate sunlight. Place it in a location with filtered light, such as near a window or under a shade cloth.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. In warmer months, the plant will require more frequent watering, while in cooler months, reduce watering to avoid root rot.
Humidity: This orchid loves high humidity levels of around 50-70%. Regular misting, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier near the plant can help create the right environment, especially if grown indoors.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures for the Ground Orchid range from 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so bring it indoors if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).
Soil: Use well-draining, rich, organic soil to ensure proper growth. A mix of garden soil, perlite, and organic compost works well for outdoor planting, while an orchid potting mix is recommended for potted plants.
Fertilizer: Fertilize your Ground Orchid with a balanced, water-soluble orchid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
Pruning: Regularly remove spent blooms and yellowing leaves to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Pruning also helps maintain the plant’s overall shape and prevent disease.
Repotting: Repot your Spathoglottis Plicata every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot with fresh potting mix to allow for continued healthy growth.
Pests and Diseases: This orchid is generally pest-resistant, but occasionally, it may attract aphids, mealybugs, or scale insects. Regularly check the plant and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper watering practices.
