Because of the structural features of leaves, which are characterized by a large breadth of orchid quickly loses moisture. When the plant is entering a period of rapid growth, it is particularly in need of watering. It is carried out 2-3 times a week. When it's cold season, the soil is often impossible to moisturize.

On top of the roots covered with a spongy tissue, which in the natural environment allows the plant to be attached to the trunks of trees. At home, it is not necessary, because the pot keeps the vertical position of the roots. It is important that it is made of transparent plastic, which will provide access to the roots of the world. On the pot must have holes, and not only on the bottom, but also on the sides. The latter is necessary for air circulation.
It is impossible, so that the roots have been compressed. They must lie freely allowed them to crawl out. Repot the plant should be carefully. It is better to cut and move the pot an orchid in a new capacity.
