Tips:

  • New Guinea orchids - The climate changes with altitude and mountainous regions have cool, misty nights and warm, bright days. Do not allow the orchids of these regions to dry out completely and feed often with diluted fertilizers. The river valleys between the mountain ranges are warm and wet and some of the most exotic of the New Guinea orchids grow here. They need generous feeding and watering.

  • Dendrobiums are among the most popular among cut- flowers. Dendrobium Ekapol is currently one of the most popular of the Dendrobiums cultivated in Singapore. Singapore Orchids are easy to cultivate and they should be kept under semi- shadeed conditions, fertilized and watered regularly but the roots should be allowed to dry out between 2 waterings.

  • Pruning your orchids stalk or spike should not cause harm to the plant. However, some orchids may produce new bloom shoots from the nodes on the old blossom stalk, while the other orchids may produce small baby plants (pups) from these nodes. The new plants may be removed from the mother plant and potted once they develop roots. There are of course some orchids which do neither of these things. In any case, it doesn't hurt the orchid if you remove the old bloom stalk; you may just miss some new blossoms or a baby plant. The eye is the knot where the flowers originate from. About one or two new spikes will grow again from the eye (knot) if the mother plant is strong enough to do so; or will grow next season. Prune the spike as soon as the flowers are finished or dead otherwise the mother plant will not grow well.
