Water: Coral beak orchid thrives in humid environments, preferring evenly moist soil without waterlogging. Weekly watering is ideal. Typically grown indoors, coral beak orchid benefits from stable temperatures and controlled moisture levels, mimicking its tropical habitat for optimal growth.

Fertilize: Coral beak orchid requires minimal fertilization. Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (N-P-K = 30-10-10) every 10 days post-sprouting in spring, then switch to a balanced fertilizer (N-P-K = 20-20-20) in summer. A phosphorus-rich fertilizer enhances bloom in fall.

Focus on removing dead foliage in early spring and trimming faded flower spikes later to encourage healthy growth. Regular pruning during these times enhances coral beak orchid's aesthetic appeal, vigor, and overall health.
