CARE GUIDE

How to keep Angraecum Pectinatum.

Water

Angraecum pectinatum prefers consistent moisture but can tolerate brief dry periods. To keep the substrate adequately moist, water the plant once a week during the summer and every 10 days in the fall and winter. To increase humidity, mist the plant regularly. It is best to use water with a neutral pH. If using tap or rainwater, let it sit for a while before watering.

Pruning

Angraecum pectinatum is an attractive plant that requires minimal maintenance. To encourage its growth and flowering, prune it in early spring. This involves removing any damaged leaves and promoting healthy development. Always use sterilized tools for pruning to prevent disease. Regular trimming helps improve air circulation and light exposure, contributing to the overall health of the plant.
