Care Instructions for Ground Orchid – Spathoglottis Plicata (White):
- Light Requirements: The White Ground Orchid thrives in bright, indirect light, making it ideal for indoor spaces such as windowsills or patios. A south or east-facing window with filtered sunlight is perfect for this plant. Outdoors, it can tolerate partial shade to full sun. However, direct midday sun can cause the leaves to burn, so it’s best to provide some shade during the hottest part of the day.
- Watering: Water the Ground Orchid regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Orchids generally prefer to dry out slightly between waterings, but they don’t like sitting in standing water. Water once a week during the growing season (spring and summer). In the winter months, when growth slows down, water less frequently, every 10-14 days. Always check the soil moisture before watering. If the top inch of soil is dry, it’s time to water.
- Soil Requirements: The Spathoglottis plicata (White) thrives in well-draining soil. It prefers loamy or slightly acidic soil that holds moisture while still draining well. A regular orchid potting mix or well-draining potting soil works great for containers. If planting outdoors, make sure the soil drains well to avoid root rot.
- Temperature: Being a tropical plant, the White Ground Orchid prefers warm temperatures. It thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid placing your orchid in areas with temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as cold temperatures can damage the plant. The orchid also enjoys high humidity (50% or more), so consider placing it in a humidity tray or using a room humidifier if the air is dry.
- Fertilization: Feed your Ground Orchid with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). A diluted orchid fertilizer or general-purpose fertilizer will promote healthy growth and blooms. Reduce fertilization during the cooler months (fall and winter) when the plant is not actively growing.
- Pruning: After the orchid has finished blooming, remove the spent flower spikes to encourage new blooms. You can also prune back any yellowing or dead leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and promote fresh growth.
- Repotting: Repot the Spathoglottis plicata every 1-2 years, or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a container that is just a bit larger than the current one to prevent waterlogging. Always use well-draining soil when repotting, and ensure that the new pot has proper drainage.
