How to Use
Potting and re-potting
Choose a pot with just enough room for the roots.
Fill one third of the pot with orchid potting mix. Place the orchid in the pot and carefully spread out the roots. Gently hold the plant by its stem and fill around the roots. Tap the pot to settle the potting mix–do not firm down.
Orchids may need anchoring in the pot with a stick or with wire
Re-pot just after flowering or during the period when new growth and new roots appear
Remove dead and shriveled roots but leave potting mix attached to healthy plump white roots. Do not worry if a few roots grow outside the pot—re-pot only when growth starts to suffer
Feeding
During the growing and flowering season, feed your plants with Westland Orchid Feed diluted in rainwater
Feed every second watering in the active growing season (spring/summer) and every fourth watering in the winter
Watering
Orchid roots will rot easily if they are kept in wet conditions. It is therefore essential to water sparingly, ideally once a week.
Westland Orchid Water is a great option to feed and water orchid plants. Just 2 capfuls a week will help keep orchid plants healthy and flowering for longer
Orchids prefer high air humidity. Applying Westland Orchid Mist spray 1-2 times a week to the aerial roots and foliage will help replicate the plants natural growing environment
