Zygopetalum

Zygopetalum

Origin:

South America, primarily Brazil and Argentina, but also Peru and Bolivia. They are found mainly in higher-altitude and thus cooler regions and are strictly terrestrial orchids.

Location:

Bright; they need plenty of light and fresh air. Avoid excessive heat from direct sunlight. In the summer, a partially shaded spot in the garden is also recommended.

Temperature:

Prefers cool conditions. Optimal temperature: 14–18 °C.

Giessen:

Water thoroughly. No more than 1–2 times a week; do not let the potting mix dry out completely.

Fertilizing:

Every 14 days with orchid fertilizer: 0.5 grams or 0.5 milliliters per liter of water.

Special features:

These orchids have a pleasant fragrance and bring great joy with their rare blue color.
