How to grow

Coffee orchids usually bloom in late spring or early summer. Each pseudobulb can grow 2-3 flowers. They like hot and humid climates and need sufficient sunshine. The sunshine in spring, autumn and winter is relatively mild and full sunshine is acceptable. In summer, move to a semi-sun location or avoid strong direct light at noon. You can also use a shading net to block part of the light.

Coffee orchid cultivation medium should be sphagnum for better water retention. Water when the sphagnum moss is semi-dry. When water is lacking, the pseudobulbs will dry out and become wrinkled, but they will recover as long as they are watered again. New shoots will sprout from the base of the pseudobulb every spring and summer, and they grow very fast. It is recommended to change to a larger pot when necessary. In addition to being able to retain water, the pot will not tip over due to top-heavy.

Coffee orchids are mainly propagated by divisions, which is more suitable in spring and summer. Every 3-5 balls can be divided into units and planted in pots respectively.
