Top Tip
Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Basel' is a moderate feeder. Use a specialized orchid fertilizer diluted to a quarter of the recommended strength every time you water to support its lush foliage and vibrant deep-coloured blooms.
How to Water
Use the "soak and drain" method for Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Basel'. Submerge the inner pot in a bowl of tepid water for 10–15 minutes to allow the bark to absorb moisture, then lift it out and let it drain completely before putting it back in its display pot.
How to Plant
Before planting Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Basel' into a new pot, inspect the root system thoroughly. Using sterilized scissors, snip off any roots that are brown, hollow, or mushy, leaving only the firm, healthy roots to settle into the fresh bark.
