Zygopetalum maculatum requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely. This orchid can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it is protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.Bodem
This orchid prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss is ideal. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced orchid fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 20-20-20. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season and reduce frequency during the dormant period. Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid over-fertilization.Verpotten
