OECEOCLADES CARE INFO:
Potting mix: Coarse/fine bark. Repot in Spring once every other year as the bark begins to break down. Don't move up in pot size until fully root bound.
Light: Medium-bright indirect light. Bright North or shielded South.
Water: Water when media is dry. Prefers wet/dry cycle similar to Phals. Decrease in winter.
Temp: Intermediate-warm (55F min night, 85F max day).
Humidity: 50-80%. Not picky.
Fertilizing: 1/4-1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Flush the pot with water once monthly to remove mineral build up. Decrease to once monthly or less. Light feeders.
