Zga. Sweet Jade 'Sweet Cheyenne' 4in

Zygopetalum relative with bright chartreuse blooms with subtle purple spotting. Will smell faintly sweet and spicy. A good orchid for those that like to water. Semi-terrestrial orchid that prefers to be on the moist side. 

Blooming size but will not arrive in bloom. Photo is representative of the blooms. 

ZYGOPETALUM CARE:

Potting mix: Fine bark or sphagnum/perlite mix. Repot carefully in Spring every two years before fully pot bound.

Light: Bright indirect - medium light. Prefers morning light (East and North). Protect leaves from direct sun exposure.

Water: Water frequently in hot months when media is near dry. Somewhat forgiving with short drought periods but prefers not to stay dry.

Temp: Intermediate-cool (55F min night, 80F max day). Protect from extreme heat.

Humidity: 60-70%, tolerant of moderate humidity with adequate watering.

Fertilizing: 1/2-1/4 strength urea-free balanced fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Flush the pot once monthly to remove mineral build up. Decrease to once monthly or stop entirely in Winter.
