What is the growth pattern and size of Pale Green Orchid?
Pale Green Orchid grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.
What are the water needs for Pale Green Orchid
Pale Green Orchid should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Pale Green Orchid
Pale Green Orchid loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
What is the sunlight requirement for Pale Green Orchid
Pale Green 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 Rein Orchid.
Is Pale Green Orchid toxic to humans/pets?
