Exquisite new orchid with dainty white blooms early in the year. Position: bright but indirect light Soil: good orchid potting compost Rate of growth: fast growing Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 60cm (+ or - 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose a 12.5cm orchid pot cover to give a good fit over the pot. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). Home care: Place this orchid in a bright spot but not in direct sun in a moderately warm room when in flower. Let the compost dry out slightly on the surface before watering with tepid soft water, or rain water, allowing any excess water to drain away and then remove - it's important that the plant is not left sitting in water. Make sure the plants have good air circulation around the crown, mist regularly with water and feed with orchid fertiliser throughout the growing season. Once it has flowered you can trim off the spent flowers but leave the 'cane' stems as they may support some more flowers in the following years. Over time some of the older 'canes' may become a bit woody and shrivelled - these can be cut off at the base as long as there are three new healthy canes with leaves. To flower in subsequent years the plant will need cool temperatures and less water in the autumn and early winter for the buds to develop. Once the buds have formed, however, you can increase the watering and move it back to a warmer room.
