Care for Wuttipanara Manoonya:
- Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods as it can burn the leaves. Filtered light near east-facing windows or diffused light in well-lit environments is ideal.
- Irrigation: Keep the substrate moist, but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the substrate is almost dry to the touch, using warm water.
- Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), provide a balanced fertilizer diluted in water every two weeks. Reduce the frequency of fertilization in autumn and winter.
- Temperature: The ideal temperature ranges between 18°C and 27°C. Avoid extreme temperatures as they can affect flowering.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity (around 50-70%). Use a humidifier or place the pot on a tray with water and pebbles to increase air humidity.
- Substrate: Use a lightweight and well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of coconut husk, perlite, and sphagnum moss.
- Repotting: Repot the orchid every two or three years or when the pot becomes overcrowded, using a pot with good drainage and suitable substrate.
Tips for Success with Wuttipanara Manoonya:
- Provide adequate support for the plant, as its pseudobulbs tend to grow vertically.
- After flowering, cut the flower stalk just below the last node that bloomed. This will encourage the plant to produce new shoots and flowers.
- Carefully observe the plant for signs of pests or diseases and treat them promptly.
