ðą How to Care for Pink Butterfly Orchid to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water thoroughly only when the bark or moss medium feels nearly dry, then let it drain completely â soggy roots quickly lead to rot in this epiphyte.
âïļ Lighting
Provide bright, filtered light such as under 50% shade cloth or near an east-facing window; direct midday sun can scorch the leaves.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Mount on bark or pot in a chunky, fast-draining mix of bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite that lets roots breathe.
