Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation around your orchid. This can be achieved by placing a fan nearby or by providing adequate spacing between plants. Proper air circulation helps prevent the development of fungal issues and enhances overall plant health.
Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels to mimic the orchid's natural habitat. Consider placing a humidity tray filled with water near the orchid or using a humidifier in the growing area.
Growing Medium: Cattleya Dinard 'Blue Heaven' can be cultivated either by mounting in baskets without media or by potting in a well-draining bark mix. Choose a medium that promotes good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to orchid roots.
Watering: During the active growth period in spring and summer, water your orchid frequently, especially if it is mounted. Allow the plant to dry out between waterings to prevent the risk of root rot. In cooler months, reduce watering, letting the top layer of the growing medium dry before the next watering.
