🌡 Temp: Intermediate-Warm to Warm/Hot (20-32°C day - 18-24°C night) 18-25°C is acceptable range for most indoor growing, especially hybrids, with 4-6°C difference day/night. Warm to hot temperature helps induces spike (flowering)
💧 Water: For Polychilos - Wet to almost dry cycles, complete dryout occasionally but not necessary especially in vegetative (growing) stage. When roots are abundance can stay more moist. Reverse Osmosis / Distilled or Rain water is best. DO NOT use ice cubes.
If hybridized with subg-Phalaenopsis - Give complete dryout or root may rot, depending on the % of polychilos-phalaenopsis genetics. Safer to allow dryouts.
☁️Humidity: 30%+min for hybrids (40-60% optimal)
💡 Light: Bright indirect (East Morning or Sunset Light direct, Mid-summer day indirect) year round. Artificial supplementary light recommended in winter or low light homes. 10-12 hour light period to induce continuous flowering.
