Top Tip
You may see silver roots growing out of the pot into the air on your Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Bolivia'. Do not cut these "aerial roots" off; they are healthy and help the plant absorb moisture from the air.
How to Water
Consider using rainwater or filtered water for Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Bolivia' if you live in a hard water area. The mineral buildup from tap water can eventually accumulate on the roots and damage the sensitive tips.
How to Plant
If you tend to overwater plants, mix some clay pellets or inorganic media into the bark when planting Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Bolivia'. This increases drainage further and provides a buffer against rot for the root system.
