Originating from the high Andes, this orchid with its large blooms is often referred to as a Pansy orchid. It's a cool temperature orchid preferring daytime temperatures between 21.1°C to 26.7°C and night temperatures between 12.8°C to 15.6°C. It also prefers slightly less sun than other orchids.

Comes in a 12cm grow pot. Decorative planters sold separately. Due to the sensitive nature of the flowers this plant is available for delivery in JHB, PTA only.

About Plant

Caring for Pansy

Light

Miltoniopsis can take slightly lower light conditions than most orchids and should be near an east facing window as opposed to a north or west facing window. If your orchid is receiving enough light the leaves will be an apple green colour. Too much light = yellow or pink leaves with spotting.

Water & humidity

Keep the soil moist during summer. As autumn approaches & the plant stops producing new leaves, reduce watering, allowing the soil to dry out a bit during the cooler months. Only increase watering again when new leaf growth appears in Spring. Miltoniopsis has very delicate roots so it's advisable to only water with filtered reverse osmosis water or rain water.

Feeding

During flowering feed your orchid regularly with a special fertiliser for flowering plants. After blooming, feed with a fertiliser high in Nitrogen. Reduce feeding in winter.

Re-potting

Re-pot every 2-3 years in spring after flowering. Orchids prefer to be root bound and don't want to drown in potting medium. Use a special orchid mix only.

Atrium Top Tip

Once the flowers have shrivelled, cut the flowering stem at the base. This encourages the plant to produce new shoots that will flower again. Orchids need lower temperatures in winter to encourage new flowers in Spring. However, don't expose them to freezing temperatures. Cool night temperatures and warm day temperatures are optimal for flowering.

Quirky plant fact

Orchids are epiphytes, growing high in the trees or on rocks, clinging on with their aerial roots. These roots feed on morning dew and rain.
