Orchid Care Tips for the Month of July


Since it’s summertime, all your orchids should be growing and flowering.

The rainy season has started so watch out for fungus. If you haven’t already, you might want to:
1. Spray some fungicide as a protective measure.
2. Space your plants to get more air flow around them.
3. Clean up any old dead debris or leaves that can harbor only bad things.

Now is also a good time to mount plants on trees in your yard or on wood mounts to give them plenty of time to attach before the fall.

Repot plants in old bark mix or old moss when they quit flowering if you missed it this spring. It’s always better to repot than to leave a plant in sour decaying mix.
