This unique moth orchid is fragrant, and perfectly sized for those seeking space-saving floral companion, ideal for adorning smaller nooks and crannies with its delightful blooms. ‘Bolgheri’ flowers periodically throughout the year with the right conditions and care with vibrant copper coloured petals punctuated by a purple lip. Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, Keep the compost moist during the warmer months, but in winter you should reduce the amount it gets, and only water them occasionally. Ideally when watering, you should let them stand in a tray of water (or kitchen sink)so they can soak up as much as they like for an hour or two. Afterwards, let the excess water drain away completely. It is always best to give thema good soak when they get quite dry, rather than watering little and often. Their preference is for soft, tepid water. They love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room. Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot. In their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being over crowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer. They usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering. They prefer even temperatures, so try not to have big drops at night time.
