Caring for Beallara Pacific Pastel 'Mauna Loa'
Light Requirements
Beallara Pacific Pastel 'Mauna Loa' thrives in bright, indirect light. Ideally, position your orchid near an east or west-facing window where it can receive filtered sunlight. Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
Temperature
This hybrid prefers daytime temperatures between 75°F and 85°F (24°C to 29°C) and nighttime temperatures around 60°F to 65°F (16°C to 18°C). A slight temperature drop at night helps encourage blooming.
Watering
Water your Beallara Pacific Pastel 'Mauna Loa' when the top inch of the potting medium feels dry. Typically, this means watering every 7 to 10 days. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. During the growing season, you may need to water more frequently.
Humidity
Maintain humidity levels between 40% and 70% for optimal growth. Consider using a humidity tray or a room humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments. Misting the leaves can also help, but avoid water accumulation in the crown of the plant.
Fertilizing
During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize every two to four weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength. Reduce fertilization during the fall and winter months when the plant's growth rate slows down.
Repotting
Repotting should be done every 1 to 2 years or when the potting medium breaks down. Choose a well-draining orchid mix that retains some moisture but allows excess water to escape. Repot after the blooming period for minimal stress on the plant.
Pest Management
Regularly inspect your orchid for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. If pests are present, treat them with appropriate organic insecticides or remove them by hand.
Proper care will ensure that your Beallara Pacific Pastel 'Mauna Loa' flourishes and rewards you with its beautiful blooms.
