Water: Eulophia parviflora thrives with adequate moisture but can withstand mild drought. Water weekly in summer and every 10 days in fall/winter. Maintain humidity by misting, particularly in dry conditions. Use neutral pH water, allowing tap/rainwater to sit beforehand to off-gas dissolved substances.

Fertilize: Eulophia parviflora requires minimal fertilization. Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (N-P-K = 30-10-10) every 10 days post-sprouting in spring, then transition to a balanced formula (N-P-K = 20-20-20) in summer. A phosphorus-rich fertilizer can enhance blooming in fall.

Pruning: Prune eulophia parviflora in early spring by removing dead or damaged leaves and thinning crowded stems for better air circulation. Cut back to healthy, outward-facing nodes to enhance regrowth and flowering, promoting overall health and improved floral display.

Propagation: Propagate eulophia parviflora by division or cuttings. For division, carefully dig and separate root clusters post-blooming. For cuttings, use healthy 2-node stems, keeping the substrate moist. Roots should develop in 2-3 months. Alternatively, lay stems on moist substrate until rooted before transplanting.
