*Cultural and care information is based on average Phalaenopsis subg-Polychilos hybrids, use it as guide and should be adapted to suit your environment. Important to understand if your hybrid has subg-phalaenopsis genetics and adjust as needed.

🌡 Temp: Intermediate-Warm to Warm/Hot (20-32°C day - 18-24°C night) 18-25°C is acceptable range for most indoor growing, especially hybrids, with 4-6°C difference day/night. Warm to hot temperature helps induces spike (flowering)

💧 Water: For Polychilos - Wet to almost dry cycles, complete dryout occasionally but not necessary especially in vegetative (growing) stage.  When roots are abundance can stay more moist. Reverse Osmosis / Distilled or Rain water is best. 

☁️Humidity: 30%+min for hybrids (40-60% optimal)

💡 Light: Bright indirect (East Morning or Sunset Light direct, Mid-summer day indirect) year round.  Artificial supplementary light recommended in winter or low light homes. 10-12 hour light period to induce continuous flowering. 

🌰Media: Our preference is top 3" Sphagnum Moss & Leca bottom combo. Moss/Bark mix also works, prefer slightly higher water retentive media than regular Phalaenopsis as they like to stay slightly moist.

🧪: Fertilize: When it's actively growing in vegetative stage - typically when a top leaf emerges and growing. We recommend MSU & Marphyll rotation in low dosage every other watering and allow water flushing in between.
