Cambria 'Nelly Iser'

How to care for information:

Avoid direct sunlight, the blooms and foliage are susceptible to burning.
Temperature fluctuating is key to encouraging your orchid to rebloom. Blooms usually last 6 - 8 weeks in the ideal environment. Once they have fallen off, your orchid will need to sense a change in temperature in order to rebloom. You can encourage this by:
Go easy on the watering. Watering every 7 to 9 days is perfectly sufficient or when the soil medium has almost dried out.
Use a skewer or chop stick to help determine if the soil is dry.
A reddish hue on the leaves is a good indication it is receiving enough light.
