DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
To care for Ansellia africana, provide bright, indirect light and maintain moderate temperatures. Ensure the plant receives adequate humidity and allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This orchid benefits from a dormancy period during the cooler months, where watering should be reduced.Bodem
Ansellia africana prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix. An orchid-specific mix that includes bark, perlite, and charcoal is ideal. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, so ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.Kunstmest
Use a balanced orchid fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 20-20-20. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season and reduce feeding during the dormancy period. Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid over-fertilization.Verpotten
Repot Ansellia africana every two to three years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Repotting is best done in the spring before the growing season begins. Use a fresh orchid mix and ensure the new pot has good drainage.Voortplanting
Propagate Ansellia africana by dividing the pseudobulbs during repotting. Ensure each division has at least three pseudobulbs and healthy roots. Plant the divisions in fresh orchid mix and provide the same care as the parent plant.Snoeien
Prune Ansellia africana to remove dead or damaged leaves and spent flower spikes. Pruning helps maintain the plant's health and encourages new growth. Perform pruning after the flowering period and during the dormancy phase.Toxiciteit
Ansellia africana is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always advisable to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.Aanvullend
Ansellia africana benefits from good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal infections. Place the plant in a well-ventilated area and avoid overcrowding with other plants. Regularly check for pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat promptly if detected.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
