Caring for your Rlc. Joy Sokabe Shining
Rlc. Joy Sokabe Shining is a stunning hybrid that brings vibrant colors and elegant blooms to your orchid collection. To keep your orchid thriving and blooming beautifully, follow these care tips:
Light:
Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal.
Temperature:
Maintain daytime temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and nighttime temperatures around 55-65°F (13-18°C). This temperature range encourages healthy growth and flowering.
Watering:
Water thoroughly once the potting medium begins to dry out, typically every 7-10 days. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot; do not let the plant sit in standing water.
Humidity:
Aim for 50-70% humidity. Increase humidity by placing a tray of water and pebbles beneath the plant or using a humidifier, especially in dry climates or heated indoor spaces.
Fertilizing:
Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) diluted to half strength every 2 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding in the winter months when the plant rests.
Potting Medium:
Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark or a blend of bark and perlite, to provide ample aeration to the roots.
Repotting:
Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting medium breaks down. This refreshes nutrients and prevents root issues.
With attentive care, your Rlc. Joy Sokabe Shining will reward you with lush foliage and dazzling blooms, a true highlight of your orchid collection. At O’Dowd’s Orchids, we’re here to help you nurture these beautiful plants every step of the way.
