Plant care: Orchid 'Polystachya fallax'

Polystachya fallax is relatively easy to care for. Keep the orchid in a greenhouse or other bright place, where it gets a lot of sunlight, good has air circulation, temperatiures between 18⁰C and 22⁰C and a humidity of around 80%. The best substrate is a piece of bark/cork, but orchid mix will also work. For optimal growth, water with rain or distilled water whenever the substrate has become slightly dry, approximately 3-5 times a week, making sure that the moisture can drain away. Do not over fertilize. Prune old flowers. You can find these and other growing supplies under our 'plant accessories' section.
