Easy care
Four Seasons Orchids are generally robust by nature, not as fussy as other Chinese orchids, with strong adaptability to the environment and easy cultivation. When growing orchids, the first thing is to choose the right growing medium; do not use soil directly like with potted green plants. It is recommended to use a three-in-one medium, a combination of bark, orchid stone and humus soil; a substrate with good air permeability and drainage is more suitable.
