DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
The Bumblebee Orchid requires bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It prefers a humid environment but can tolerate average household humidity levels. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
Sol
Ophrys bombyliflora prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. A mix of loam and sand can be used to ensure good drainage. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture.
Engrais
This orchid does not require frequent fertilization. If desired, a balanced orchid fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can harm the plant.
Rempotage
Repot the Bumblebee Orchid every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining orchid mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes. Repotting is best done after the dormancy period, just before new growth begins.
Propagation
Propagation of Ophrys bombyliflora is typically done through division. Carefully separate the tubers during the repotting process, ensuring each division has healthy roots and shoots. Plant the divisions in separate pots with fresh orchid mix.
Taille
Pruning is not required for this orchid. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
Toxicité
Ophrys bombyliflora is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.
Supplémentaire
The Bumblebee Orchid is a fascinating plant due to its unique pollination strategy. The flowers mimic the appearance and scent of female bumblebees, attracting male bees that attempt to mate with the flowers, thus facilitating pollination. This plant can be a delightful addition to any orchid collection.
