Aerides key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 20-50cm
- Temperature
- 18〜32℃
- Light & Placement
- Like Vanda types, it prefers strong light. Grow it hanging with the aerial roots exposed, in a bright, well-ventilated spot.
- Watering
- With the aerial roots exposed it dries out quickly, so daily misting or watering to wet the roots thoroughly is essential.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- The ideal range is 18-32°C in a hot, humid environment. Keep it in a warm room over winter and avoid cold and dryness.
- Soil & Repotting
- It is normally grown without media in a basket or hanging pot with the roots in the air. Repot as little as possible to avoid root damage.
- Fertilizer
- Ample light and moisture are the key to flowering, so feed regularly with diluted liquid fertilizer along with watering to build up the plant.
