Care Tips for Optimal Growth

Light

Bright, indirect sunlight is essential. Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent leaf burn. Use a shade net during high temperatures to protect the plant.

Temperature

Maintain an ideal temperature range of 18°C to 27°C. Keeping the plant warm encourages optimal blooming.

Watering

Daily watering is crucial, especially in summer. Spray the roots until they turn from grey to green. In winter or during cloudy weather, reduce watering. For dehydrated plants, briefly soak them in a bucket of water, being careful not to damage the roots or plant parts.

Humidity

Maintain 60-70% humidity. Mist the leaves one to two times daily but avoid misting the flowers directly.

Air Circulation

Ensure good airflow to prevent fungal and bacterial diseases. A well-ventilated area is ideal for healthy growth.

Fertilising

During the growing season, fertilise every 2-4 weeks with diluted fertilisers such as fish amino acid or panchagavya. Natural options like banana peel water or eggshell solutions can also promote healthy growth. For better blooming, use phosphorus-based fertilisers like bone meal. Always avoid fertilising dry plants to protect the roots from damage.

Repotting

No immediate need to repot. Repot every 2-3 years or when necessary. After repotting, allow the plant to dry slightly to heal any cracked roots.

Orchid Pots

Use 7-9 inch orchid pots that allow the roots to dangle freely, mimicking how they grow in their natural habitat.

Pruning

Remove spent flower spikes and any dead or yellowing leaves to promote new growth. Prune early in spring to maintain healthy foliage and blooms.

Unique Growth Traits

Epiphytic Nature

The Vandachostylis Renu Gold x Tubtim grow naturally by clinging to trees or hanging freely. You can place them in hanging baskets, wood mounts, or orchid pots, allowing their roots to dangle naturally.

Soil-Free Growth

Vandachostylis orchids thrive without a potting medium, but organic mixes like charcoal, potting mix, or coconut husk can be used if needed.

Blooming & Lifespan

The Vandachostylis Renu Gold x Tubtim blooms once or twice a year, depending on care and size. With proper maintenance, this orchid can live for over 20 years, providing beautiful blooms for decades.

Common Challenges & Solutions

Pests:

Watch out for mealybugs, thrips, and scales. Neem oil, insecticidal soap, or pest controllers can help keep these pests away.

Yellowing Leaves:

Improper watering is often the cause. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering leaves roots dry. Achieve a balance to keep the plant healthy.

Note: The plants may or may not contain flowers or buds. There are chances that the buds/flowers could dry up due to transit stress even though we pack them with extreme care. The local climatic conditions and fertilization habits can affect the brightness & colour intensity of flowers. While we make every effort to match the actual colours of the flowers, the photographs may not be the exact representation, due to different monitor settings.

Shipping: This orchid ships for FREE. Please note that we might need up to 2-3 business days to properly dry and pack the plant and ship them.
