Laelia key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 15-30cm
- Temperature
- 10〜30℃
- Light & Placement
- It likes a bright spot. The rock-dwelling Mexican species especially want strong light, so give them plenty of sun.
- Watering
- In the growing season, water once the medium has dried. Reducing water in winter, its dry season, promotes flowering.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- It handles a fairly wide range of 10-30°C. Bring it indoors in winter and overwinter it on the dry side.
- Soil & Repotting
- Pot in bark and pumice for good drainage. For the rock-dwelling species, prioritize drainage so the roots never stay soggy.
- Fertilizer
- Feed during the growing season to build up the pseudobulbs. Stop feeding and let the plant rest while water is withheld in winter.
