To cultivate your own stunning Cattlianthe Wufong Rose, here are some essential tips:

-
Watering: Water your Cattlianthe Wufong Rose regularly, ensuring the potting medium is moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of the medium to dry out slightly between watering sessions.
-
Humidity: This orchid thrives in high humidity environments. Consider using a humidifier or placing a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the plant to create a humid microclimate.
-
Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as a combination of bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite. Repot the orchid every couple of years to refresh the potting medium and provide ample space for growth.
-
Fertilization: Feed your Cattlianthe Wufong Rose regularly with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half-strength during the growing season. Reduce fertilization frequency during the dormant period.
