At this time use a high Potassium (K) fertiliser. You should encourage lateral branching and tip pruning will encourage flowering which can start from spring…trail the vine back downwards and across as this will encourage more flowering….you can get hundreds on a big healthy vine. * They will climb up anything and soon the plant will be getting nutrients from whatever it is putting its aerial roots into. You need a well drained dryish spot and not somewhere that is cold & wet in winter. Bury it in something like coarse pine bark or well drained compost. If you are in a warm climate you might be able to half bury the plant still in its pot against something that it can climb up like a palm tree or wooden trellis * in part shade or early morning sun. Spray worm vermicaste solution if you are fair dinkum for great plants and to help your plant thru winter. Spray your balanced N:P:K liquid fertilisers and your fish/kelp fertilisers all along the plant as it grows. Use a little slow release fertiliser with trace elements like osmocote for the pot. Soon the plant will be getting its nutrients from what its aerial roots are gripping onto. In our area you start getting growth at about 28oC.ħ. What you get away with in the tropics is not what you can do in cooler areas. Its white roots are quite thick….all plants with these type of roots and all orchids do not like being overpotted or overwet.Ħ. You could grow this plant to 5-6 metres tall in the 75mm pot it arrived in.ĥ. But the pot and mix are only a temporary support mechanism.Ĥ. Potting mix should be a mix of coarse 10-12mm orchid bark and regular well drained potting mix. This plant needs great drainage, warm conditions north of Coffs Harbour NSW or Geraldton WA or protected coastal conditions elsewhere. Think of it as an orchid with aerial roots….so do not plant it in the garden until you know what you are doing.Ģ. The plant is an epiphyte & will establish itself without the pot in time…gripping onto its host and getting all its nutrients from there as well as its leaf absorption.ġ. Be careful removing the wrapping so you do not pull the roots out of the mix.Ĥ.
