DESCRIPTION
Sarcochilus is a genus of orchids native to Australia, and they are known for their small, colorful, and fragrant flowers. Care for Sarcochilus orchids typically includes:
Light: Sarcochilus orchids generally prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning, but protection from intense afternoon sun is often recommended.
Temperature: They thrive in intermediate to warm temperatures, with a slight drop in temperature at night.
Humidity: Sarcochilus orchids appreciate high humidity levels. If you're growing them indoors, you may need to increase humidity by using a humidifier or placing the orchid on a tray with water and pebbles.
Watering: Allow the orchid to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the potting medium feels nearly dry. Proper drainage is essential.
Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix suitable for Sarcochilus orchids. Repotting may be necessary when the potting medium breaks down.
