Which Orchids Grow Best in ORCHIDEA?
ORCHIDEA is particularly well suited to compact epiphytic orchids that benefit from excellent root aeration and a carefully managed watering routine.
- Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchids): An excellent choice for attractive indoor blooms and beginner orchid growers.
- Compact Dendrobium Orchids: Suitable varieties can thrive with appropriate light, temperature, and moisture management.
- Miniature Orchids: Small varieties that fit the liner are attractive choices for tabletop displays.
Orchid Care Tip: Most commonly grown epiphytic orchids need air around their roots and should not remain constantly saturated. Check root condition and substrate moisture regularly, even when using a self-watering planter.
Semi-Transparent Liner Supports Orchid Roots
Unlike ordinary decorative pots, ORCHIDEA includes a semi-transparent removable liner that allows light to reach the roots. This is particularly beneficial for orchids such as Phalaenopsis, whose roots can naturally photosynthesize when exposed to light. The liner also makes it easier to inspect roots and refresh the growing medium.
How the Orchid Self-Watering System Works
ORCHIDEA includes a specially adapted wick irrigation system and orchid substrate designed to provide a balance of moisture and air around the roots.
- Prepare the Liner: Install the included irrigation wick and water level indicator according to LECHUZA's instructions.
- Repot Your Orchid: Carefully place the orchid into the semi-transparent liner with the included specialty orchid substrate. Avoid burying the crown or damaging roots.
- Establish the Plant: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for initial watering while the roots adjust to the new growing medium.
- Use the Reservoir: Add water as directed, using the indicator to monitor the reservoir and avoid overfilling.
- Monitor and Refill: Check the roots and growing medium. Allow suitable drying intervals based on your orchid's species and growing conditions.
Indoor Use Only: ORCHIDEA is intended for indoor growing. Keep orchids in suitable light and avoid leaving roots continuously wet. Watering needs vary with orchid variety, humidity, temperature, and season.
Specialty Orchid Substrate Included
ORCHIDEA comes with a specially formulated orchid growing substrate for the standard planting setup. No additional substrate is needed for your initial planting.
Unlike standard LECHUZA-PON used in many other LECHUZA planters, the included orchid substrate is designed specifically to balance water and air for orchid roots. When repotting in the future, choose an appropriate orchid growing medium rather than ordinary dense potting soil.
