Anoectochilus Lowii

Anoectochilus lowii, commonly known as Low's jewel orchid, is a species native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, particularly found in regions such as Malaysia and Borneo.

For care tips:

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light can hinder growth.

Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity: This plant thrives in high humidity, ideally between 50-70%. Use a humidity tray, mist the leaves, or employ a humidifier to maintain moisture in the air.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) during the day, with slightly cooler temperatures at night. Avoid temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as an orchid mix or a blend of peat, perlite, and bark, to support healthy growth.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Repotting: Repot every couple of years or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in the spring.

By following these care guidelines, you can help your Anoectochilus lowii thrive and enjoy its unique and beautiful foliage.
