Leochilus Carinatus

Leochilus carinatus thrives best with adequate moisture, though it can withstand periods of drought. During the summer, water it once a week, and in the fall and winter, water it every 10 days. To maintain humidity, especially in dry weather, regularly mist the plant. Use water with a neutral pH for watering. You can achieve this by allowing tap or rainwater to sit for a while, which helps release any dissolved carbon dioxide.

Leochilus carinatus is a delicate orchid known for its slender stems and vibrant flowers. To encourage growth and blooming, prune the plant in early spring. This involves removing dead stems and trimming any overgrown areas to improve airflow. Always use sterilized tools to prevent disease.
