The heat is on, and our orchids need extra care!

🌞 The weather is hot! And our orchids feel it too! 🌡️🌿

🌿 Most of my orchids are established in net pots with a mix of giant clay pebbles, lava rock, and giant perlite — this guarantees excellent drainage during the rainy season, but also means they need more frequent watering in hot weather! 🌞💦If your orchids are outdoors — in full sun, under tree shade, or under a patio screen like mine — here are some hot weather tips to help them stay happy and healthy:

💧 If it’s not raining, water daily — at least spray to refresh them.
🧪 Apply vitamin B1 every 2 weeks to help them handle stress.
🍄 Use a fungicide regularly, especially before rainy days.
💊 Don’t forget calcium and magnesium to support growth.
🌼 Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 15 days.
👀 And most importantly: check your plants often — look for new roots, sheaths, or changes in leaf color. That’s the best way to catch any problem early!

Stay cool and keep growing! 💚
