Orchids | Dichaea Ancoraelabia

Botanical name: Dichaea ancoraelabia
Common name: Dichaea Orchid (no widely used common name; often referred to by scientific name)
Kingdom: Plantae
Family: Orchidaceae
Genus: Dichaea
Origin: Central and South America (notably Costa Rica and Panama)

Light:
Prefers bright, diffused light similar to that found in cloud forest understories. Provide medium to high humidity and filtered light (e.g., under shade cloth or near a bright window with sheer curtains). Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage.

Water:
Requires consistently moist conditions with good air movement. Water frequently—ideally daily in warm conditions or if mounted—but avoid waterlogging. If potted, use a fine-grade orchid bark mix with sphagnum to retain moisture while ensuring drainage.

Fertilizer:
A specific orchid fertilizer like Jack's bloom booster or Jack's classic orchid food.

You can also try a natural fertilizer like Bios plant probiotics in combination with their sulphur supplement works extremely well for epiphytic plants. Mix in yucca extract for better moisture retention in Calgary's dry weather as well as nutrient uptake.

Pet Friendly:
Considered pet safe, but ingestion may cause mild irritation. Best practice is to keep all orchids out of reach of curious pets.
