These plants can grow in coco media, ferns and sawdust, but the most appropriate medium is sawdust because it resembles the original habitat of these plants grow. Sawdust soaked with water beforehand for ± 24 hours to remove the sap inherent in sawdust, and then given a solution of fungicide to avoid fungal attack.
Fertilization is given according to age of the plant and carried out two times a week. Fertilization should be done early morning (06:00 to 07:00) or afternoon (16:00 to 18:00). When using a liquid fertilizer, spray into the lower surface of leaves, stems and the roots.
For example:
Type of fertilizer (N-P-K) for young black orchid, select which many containing N elements to stimulate vegetative growth such as Dekastar 22-8-4, Gandasil_D 20-15-15 or Vitabloom 30-10-10 and type of fertilizer for orchids grown, to stimulate flowering such as Hyponex (blue) 10-40-15, Gandasil B 6 - 20 - 30 or Growmore (orange) 6-30-30.
