CARE GUIDE

How to keep Hexalectris Brevicaulis.

Water

Hexalectris brevicaulis thrives with sufficient moisture but can endure short periods of drought. Water it once a week during the summer and every ten days during the fall and winter months. To maintain humidity, especially in dry conditions, regularly mist the plant. It's important to use water with a neutral pH. You can neutralize tap or rainwater by letting it sit for a while, allowing any dissolved carbon dioxide to dissipate.

Pruning

Hexalectris brevicaulis, known for its orchid-like appearance, thrives with strategic pruning in early spring. By removing dead stems, you can promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Light pruning also improves air circulation, reduces the risk of fungal infections, and encourages vigorous new growth, resulting in a healthier plant overall.
