Always use sharp, clean scissors or pruning shears to avoid transmitting disease to your plant.
Prune spent flowers, yellowing leaves, or dead roots to promote new growth.
When cutting flower spikes, cut just above the node (where a leaf or flower could potentially grow).
Only remove parts that are clearly dead or unhealthy, as orchids need some growth to remain robust.
– Prune after the orchid has finished blooming, allowing it time to rest and recover. –
When pruning, consider whether it’s time to repot your orchid to give it more space for healthy root growth.
After pruning, ensure the orchid gets enough light and water, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot.
