Tips to keep your plant beautiful
The leaves of a jewel orchid can be damaged by water droplets left for a long time or by excessive humidity. Try to avoid water accumulating on new buds when using mist spray, and, in the case of glass case cultivation, leave the lid slightly open for circulation to let excess moisture out. Cultivated at a stable temperature and humidity, fluffy and healthy looking root hairs should develop.
