Calochilus

Calochilus I like the article

Light CalochilusPosizione luminosa
The Calochilus needs to be located in a sunny place, but not directly exposed to the solar rays. We suggest avoiding exposing orchids to direct sunlight, although they should be placed in a very bright location.We suggest growing the The Calochilus in a place where it's sheltered by frost; when all dangers of late freezings are gone we can locate them outdoors.

Cultivation Calochilus
The ramifications of these plants tend to develop downwards. This plant in the summer assumes a yellowgreenpurple colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 60 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Calochilus develops like a shrub.

Fertilize Calochilus
Orchids are plants which request periodic fertilization, using specific products for orchids, which usually aren’t too rich: it is recommendable to avoid leaving fertilizing solutions on the roots. Usually orchids should be fertilized every 20-25 days, interrupting fertilization during flowering.

Water CalochilusTenere Umido
The Calochilus Needs regular watering, but we suggest letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let's take action every 1-2 weeks , remembering to water the substratum well with 1-2 glasses of water . To moisten the soil of the orchids homogenously we can water them by immersion, soaking the vases up to the edge in demineralized water, and leaving it until the top part of the substratum is moist; let's drain the excess water and then put the containers back in place.

Pests Calochilus
If we notice the presence of cochineals or of other insects we can practice a treatment based on mineral oil or other insecticide, being careful to vaporize only the foliage.

Mold Calochilus
Locate in a soil for orchids, not too drained.

Plant - Calochilus

Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
