Onderhoudsinstructies
Spider Orchids prefer bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. They thrive in environments with moderate humidity and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.Bodem
Ophrys arachnitiformis prefers well-draining loam soil. A mix that includes sand and organic matter can help improve drainage. Ensure the soil is not too compact to allow proper root growth.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season, typically once a month. Avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.Verpotten
Repot the Spider Orchid every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Repotting is best done after the dormancy period, before the new growth starts. Use a well-draining orchid mix and handle the tubers carefully.Voortplanting
Propagation is typically done through division of the tubers. This should be done during the repotting process, after the dormancy period. Ensure each division has at least one healthy tuber and some roots.Snoeien
Pruning is not generally required for Ophrys arachnitiformis. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.Toxiciteit
Ophrys arachnitiformis 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 potential issues.Aanvullend
