Mix Mystique Orchid Care

Make sure that you are watering your Phalaenopsis Blue Mystique orchid on a regular basis throughout the growing season. Water the plant during early morning hours. However, reduce the frequency of watering during the winter. Make sure that the potting mix provides proper drainage.

When all flowers have dropped off, cut the stem 2 inches (5 centimeters) above the leaves. This will give the plant the chance to flower from the base and from the stem. If you cut the stem much higher, the new spike will be thinner and will not be able to support as many flowers. If you cut the stem much shorter, it will not flower from that stem, only from the base. This way, you will give the plant the opportunity to have multiple spikes as the years go by.

Fertilize your orchid with 30-10-10 every three to four weeks. In late summer a low nitrogen fertilizer, 10-50-10 (a bloom booster) is recommended to promote flowering.
