Leochilus Labiatus

The Lipped Orchid thrives with adequate moisture but can withstand periods of drought. During the summer, water the plant weekly. In the fall and winter, reduce watering to every 10 days. To maintain humidity, regularly mist the plant. Use neutral pH water for watering; to achieve this, let tap or rainwater sit for some time before use to allow dissolved carbon dioxide and other substances to dissipate.

The lipped orchid boasts vibrant flowers and thrives with proper care, including strategic pruning. In early spring, remove any dead foliage before new growth appears. Trim back overgrowth and spent stalks to promote blooming, but avoid heavy pruning during the flowering period to minimize stress on the plant.
