Description

These rare Paraphalaenopsis love bright shade/partial shade, humidity and to be moist with excellent drainage. This is easy when it is mounted, water it often to keep it moist. For potting, pot in a chunky soil mix. You won’t need to water as often as you would if it’s mounted, the medium should be moist but not wet. Water less in the Winter. Fertilize when there is active new growth. Repot once the roots have circled the pot or the medium has broken down.
