Adjust watering to weather, season, and type of potting mix used. When canes mature, they will automatically come into flower and no special techniques are needed. However when the outside temperatures are warm, the plants appreciate being summered outside if protection from direct light is possible. Watering and feeding may be increased as the natural air currents tend to dry the pots faster. Your plants will enjoy natural air movement, and will reward you with extra flowers in season.
Few pests enjoy orchids.
However scale and mealy bugs are the most common. Ants like the honey sweet sap that orchids make when growing well, and can bring aphids with them. Orthene as a systemic product works well on all pests mentioned, as well as sprays of water based malathion. Other types are more hazardous or require agricultural licenses to apply. Use with caution around children and pets the day of application.
