Water:
Gastrochilus thrives in high-humidity environments and requires consistent moisture without waterlogging. Weekly watering helps maintain hydration. As an epiphyte, it prefers containers that ensure adequate drainage and air circulation, mimicking its natural habitat where it clings to trees.
Propagation:
Propagation methods for gastrochilus include division and keiki development. Success hinges on high humidity, warm temperatures, and a well-draining medium like fir bark. Maintain cleanliness to prevent fungal infections and provide indirect light. Propagation involves detaching healthy keikis and ensuring they establish roots before separation.
