Ideal Temperature

Water: Originating from moist environments, ta Li corybas requires consistent soil moisture without waterlogging, ideally watered weekly. Typically grown outdoors, it thrives in conditions resembling its native habitat and benefits from rainwater for hydration and essential nutrients.

Fertilize: Ta Li corybas requires minimal fertilization. After sprouting in spring, apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (N-P-K = 30-10-10) every 10 days. In early summer, switch to a balanced fertilizer (N-P-K = 20-20-20) and use a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to encourage fall blooming.

Pruning: Ta Li corybas thrives in shaded, moist conditions and features delicate flowers. Prune in early to late spring post-bloom to promote healthy growth, ensuring not to over-prune. This enhances air circulation and reduces fungal risks. Consult reliable sources for comprehensive care instructions.

Propagation: Ta Li corybas propagates primarily through division, involving careful separation of rhizomes or bulbs with at least one growth point each. Handle roots delicately to avoid damage. After division, plant in well-draining, humus-rich soil, ensuring consistent moisture without waterlogging.
