Growing Instructions:

Preparing Your Seeds:

Stratification (Optional): For improved germination, cold stratify seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks before planting.

How to Sow Seeds:

Timing: Sow seeds indoors in early spring or late winter, as they require a controlled environment for optimal germination.
Sowing: Plant seeds on the surface of a sterile, well-drained orchid mix or seed-starting medium. Do not cover with soil; instead, gently press seeds into the surface.

Germination Process:

Temperature: Maintain soil temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
Moisture: Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and may take several months.

Transplanting Seedlings:

Timing: Transplant seedlings when they have developed a few sets of true leaves and are strong enough to handle. This may take 6-12 months or longer.
Spacing: Space plants 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) apart to accommodate their mature size and growth habit.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly with distilled or rainwater, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing foliage to maintain plant health and appearance. Pruning is minimal but helps ensure the plant remains healthy and attractive.
