Let's place the The Leochilus in a very bright place; avoiding direct exposure to sunrays, which could damage its leaves. Let's locate the plants so that they can enjoy a good diffused brightness, but someplace where they are not directly hit by solar rays.These plants don't like cold temperatures, therefore in the spring it is best to place them outside only when temperatures are above 15°C.
Care Leochilus
These plants have a pendolous deportment. The Leochilus Is medium in size; in winter it assumes a purplepinkwhite colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. The Leochilus has a shrub- like development.
Feed Leochilus
We suggest fertilizing periodically, every 20-25 days, using a specific fertilizer for orchids, to add to the irrigating water. Let’s avoid using fertilizers during the flowering period and leaving the fertilizer in direct contact with the roots.
Irrigation Leochilus
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 1-2 glasses of water . Watering by immersion is suggested for orchids: it consists in soaking the containers in water up to the edge, when the soil is moist let's take out the vases and let the excess water drain before putting them back in place.
Adversity Leochilus
An insecticide treatment should be applied only if damaging insects have been seen on the plant; vaporizing the product we avoid spraying it on the flowers.
Substrate Leochilus
Let’s prepare a soft and incoherent soil for these plants, which has an excellent drainage.
