HOW I CARED FOR PROBLEM MILTONIA

I planted miltonia in a coco-soil substrate, trifer (fern roots) and small orcheata (3:1:1). I put it on the southeast window at a distance of about 1 m from glass, without direct sun.

During active growth, watered in a pallet, later 2-3 days after the water has completely dried in it - 1 -2 once a week, in winter under a phytolamp - once every 10-12 days.

Fed with liquid fertilizers "Azotovit" and "Phosphatovit" (a little at each watering).

Miltonia obviously liked such conditions and care.: several new growths appeared at once in the fall, and the leaves were smooth and with a good tour of the mountain, not "harmonious". In the spring, the orchid gave out immediately 3 peduncle, one of which i broke when watering. But the bloom still turned out to be spectacular.. However, the aroma is weaker, than i expected.
