🪴Care Guide

• ☀️ Light & Temperature: Grammatophyllum plants perform best when provided with excellent, bright indirect sunlight (similar to Cattleya requirements). They tolerate direct morning sun, but midday sun will scorch the leaves. These plants love warm-to-hot environments between 24°C and 35°C, and must be kept above 15°C at night with no exposure to frost.

• 💧 Watering & Feeding: These orchids love a warm and moist environment. Drench the plant heavily 2–3 times a week during active summer growth, and cut back to once every 7–10 days in winter. For best results and massive growth, apply a balanced orchid fertilizer every other time you water.

• 🌬️ Humidity & Air: Flourishes in high atmospheric humidity levels between 60% and 80%. Ensure strong, continuous air circulation around the thick foliage to prevent fungal spots on the leaves.
