Ionopsis utricularioides aka Delicate Violet Orchid

Delicate Violet Orchid presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Delicate Violet Orchid thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Delicate Violet Orchid.

During the wintertime, it's common for Delicate Violet Orchid to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
