Subprasert is a showy and captivating addition to any orchid collection, bringing a touch of tropical elegance to your home or garden.

To ensure your Rlc. Subprasert thrives and blooms magnificently, follow these cultivation tips:

Light:

• Provide bright, indirect light to your orchid. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light will hinder blooming. A south or east-facing window with filtered light is ideal.

Air Circulation:

• Good air circulation is essential for preventing fungal diseases and promoting healthy growth. Place your orchid in an area where it can receive gentle airflow.

Humidity:

• Maintain moderate humidity levels around 50-70%. You can increase humidity by using a humidity tray or a room humidifier, especially during dry seasons.

Watering:

• Allow the plant to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the potting medium feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Potting:

• Rlc. Subprasert can be grown either potted or mounted. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark or sphagnum moss, if potted. Mounted plants should be secured to a piece of cork or tree fern with sphagnum moss around the roots.

Fertilizing:

• Feed your orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding to once a month during the dormant period (fall and winter).

Temperature:

• Rlc. Subprasert prefers intermediate to warm temperatures. Aim for daytime temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and nighttime temperatures between 55-65°F (13-18°C).
