Soil \u0026amp; Potting\u003cbr\u003e\nHighly Porous Mix: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil. Adding extra perlite or pumice is highly recommended to prevent water retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDon't Bury the Caudex: Place the bulb (caudex) about 1\/3 to 1\/2 of the way into the soil. Leaving the top exposed prevents rot and lets you show off its unique texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2. Light \u0026amp; Air\u003cbr\u003e\nBright Indirect Light: They love bright spots but hate direct, scorching afternoon sun. Direct sun can burn the delicate leaves or even \"cook\" the bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAirflow is Key: Good ventilation helps prevent fungal issues and helps the soil dry out between waterings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e3. Watering (The Critical Part)\u003cbr\u003e\nWait for Dry Soil: Only water when the soil is completely dry. Usually once every 4–7 days, depending on your environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater the Soil, Not the Bulb: Try to pour water around the base. Water trapped in the deep crevices of the \"corky\" bark can lead to rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e4. Dormancy Period\u003cbr\u003e\nDon't Panic: This plant often goes dormant (loses all its leaves) during winter or very dry seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReduce Watering: When it's leafless, stop watering almost entirely. Only resume once you see a new green bud (growing tip) appearing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doi Orchid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836674498662,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7374\/8326\/files\/il_fullxfull.7817537046_kb52.jpg?v=1782113770","url":"https:\/\/doiorchid.com\/products\/impatiens-phengklaii-1-plant-caudex-plant","provider":"Doi Orchid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
