Orchid Tree Care. West facing widows provide evening sun and similar to south facing windows are too hot for an orchid to sit directly in the sun. Water your orchid whenever the soil feels dry and fertilize it with a 10 10 10 fertilizer once a month while it s flowering.
Orchid trees once established can withstand drought conditions but cannot tolerate temperatures below 15 f 9 c. Cease watering during wet weather. It thrives in soil ph 5 5 to 6 5 and prefers full sun or intermittent shade.
A diluted amount on a regular basis is optimal for orchid care.
I got all ordered orchid plants as shown in the picture. Water the newly planted orchid tree twice weekly or once the soil feels mostly dry in the top few inches. Grows to 20 feet tall and broad often with twisted leaning trunk picturesque angled branches. They must have well drained soil and when planting an orchid tree care should be taken to place it outside the reach of a sprinkler system.
