ðą How to Care for Doritaenopsis to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water roughly once a week, soaking the bark thoroughly and letting all excess drain away, then allow it to dry slightly before watering again. Never leave the pot sitting in water, and keep water out of the central crown to prevent rot.
âïļ Lighting
Provide bright, filtered light such as an east-facing window. Thanks to its Doritis parentage it tolerates a little more light than a standard Phalaenopsis, but hot midday sun will scorch the leaves.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Use a dedicated orchid mix based on medium-grade fir bark, optionally with sphagnum moss and charcoal. The medium should hold some moisture yet drain fast, keeping the roots airy.
