Phalaenopsis ANTHURA MERIDA Care
This hybrid can be grown using general care guidelines for household Phalaenopsis orchids. Choose a bright location with filtered daylight. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong midday sun, which may damage the leaves.
Water when the bark has noticeably dried. A transparent pot makes it easier to observe the roots, while drainage holes help prevent standing water. Use an airy orchid bark mix and avoid keeping the root system constantly wet.
Care tip: check the potting medium before watering instead of following a rigid schedule. Bark dries more slowly in cool conditions than in a warm, well-ventilated room.
After Flowering
Once the flowers have faded, continue normal care. A completely dry flower spike can be removed with clean pruning tools. A green spike does not always need to be cut immediately.
