Brown bee orchid, also known as Sombre bee orchid, Dark bee-orchid, Brown orchid
Brown bee orchid is known for its sensitive care requirements and is generally considered a difficult plant to maintain. Key care points include mimicking its native Mediterranean habitat with well-draining soil and providing a dry, dormant period in the summer. Special care must be taken to avoid overwatering, especially during dormancy, to prevent root rot. Regular but sparse watering is crucial when the plant is actively growing in the cooler months.
Watering schedule: Every week
Sunlight Requirements: Partial sun
