Top Tip
If the leaves of Orchid Phalaenopsis 'El Salvador' start to feel hot to the touch or develop bleached patches, the plant is getting too much direct sun. Move it a meter back from the window to provide the filtered light it prefers.
How to Water
After watering Orchid Phalaenopsis 'El Salvador', check the outer decorative pot after 30 minutes. If any water has collected at the bottom, empty it out immediately, as this plant hates having "wet feet."
How to Plant
Choose a pot for Orchid Phalaenopsis 'El Salvador' that is only just big enough to fit the roots. If the pot is too large, the excess volume of bark will stay wet for too long, increasing the risk of root problems for this variety.
