No ice cubes, no misting, and no watering the crown of the leaves. Sphagnum moss is hit or miss from what I hear. Water when the roots are all silver and do not water when they’re green.

ok thank you so much!!

You’re welcome! Oh and when in doubt MissOrchidGirl is a great resource on YouTube.

I’d also add that when these blooms drop (as they all will eventually-) it’s a good time to repot. We can walk you through with advice when you’re ready.

#### Autumn replied on 2025-02-23

ok, thx!

Yes, I recommend repotting with orchid bark. You’ll also want to get a clear pot and create lots of holes for airflow.

Don't be afraid to get creative! I like to take them out of the death plug and report them right away. This is one I bought a month or more ago while in bloom.
