Caring for Your RLC. Pink Empress 'Ju-Sen' AM/AOS
The RLC. Pink Empress 'Ju-Sen' AM/AOS is a stunning hybrid that requires specific care to flourish. Here are essential tips for maintaining its health and beauty:
Light
Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth. A south or east-facing window is ideal. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light may hinder blooming.
Temperature
Maintain temperatures between 70°F to 85°F during the day and around 60°F to 65°F at night. Temperature fluctuations can help induce blooming.
Watering
Water thoroughly when the potting media begins to dry out, typically every 5 to 7 days. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant enters dormancy. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to avoid root rot.
Humidity
Aim for humidity levels of 50% to 70%. If your home is dry, consider using a humidity tray or a humidifier to maintain moisture in the air around your orchid.
Fertilization
Fertilize every two weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Cut back to once a month in fall and winter.
Repotting
Repot your RLC. Pink Empress 'Ju-Sen' every 1 to 2 years in fresh orchid mix when it outgrows its container or if the medium begins to break down. Spring is the best time to repot, just before the growing season begins.
Pests
Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and scale. If detected, treat promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Additional Care
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth and flowering. Regularly inspect the roots; healthy roots should be white with green tips when wet.
By following these care guidelines, your RLC. Pink Empress 'Ju-Sen' AM/AOS will thrive, bringing vibrant blooms to your collection.
