How to fertilize Magic Cherry Orchid

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Magic Cherry Orchid after it doubles in size or once a year —whichever comes first.

As requested, here’s the vinicolor paph, fully opened. 🌹Wish me luck. I’ve had no success with paphs in the past, really hoping I can figure them out this time. They are notorious slow growers. This hybrid is paph Superbly Wood. Love the macabre look. #Paphiopedilum #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #GregGang #NewPlant #FreshBloom

Local nursery had paphs, so suffice to say, I came home with 2. 😅 Can’t wait to see the vinicolor open up! #OrchidLovers #NewPlant #OrchidOrg #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Paphiopedilum #GregGang

#OrchidLovers !! Look at this sneaky new bud! May 2nd to today. I’ve found paphs to be challenging in the past, but I think I’m finally getting the hang of them. 🌱 #OrchidOrg #Paphiopedilum #FreshLeafFriday #HappyPlants #NewGrowth

Anyone have any experience with brown tips on a #Paphiopedilum #Orchid that’s potted in a well-draining orchid growing medium in an orchid pot with lots of air flow/holes?

GUYS 😭 I was walking around my room doing a growth check (yes, with my turbie twist on 🧖‍♀️ lol), and went over to the lil orchid babies and saw a new leaf on one! So of course I excitedly ran my finger over it and (embarrassingly) started congratulating Leilani and telling her I was proud of her, and that’s when I suddenly realized… IT’S NOT A LEAF, IT’S THE START OF A SPIKE (. ) and I suddenly lost all brain functioning for about 2 minutes while chaotically repeating “oh my god, oh my god” and attempted to record a video explaining why this was such a huge deal for me. (P.S. — Let’s be thankful that we can’t upload videos to Greg for now, because some things are better left unseen lmao.) This freaking orchid… I’ve put her through hell. I accidentally overfertilized and burned her less than 2 weeks after getting her in March of this year. After nursing her back to health, I then stressed her out again when I moved in May. I got her as a younger orchid, so I’ve never seen her bloom irl (although I’ve seen pictures 🥵). In fact, none of my orchids have bloomed yet, I’m definitely a #NewPlantParent when it comes to orchids. Even though #Paphiopedilum orchids are terrestrial and moisture-loving, I’ve been doing a shitty job maintaining her watering schedule. TL;DR — She’s not only survived in spite of me, but my “problem” orchid just happens to be the first that will (hopefully) bloom! What are the chances?! 🥳 In case you can’t tell, I’m really f*cking excited. Brain still not fully recovered from the surge of glee. Geez, nature is pretty cool dude! 🌸 #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #RareOrchid #ResilientPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #PlantShelfie

Hey #OrchidLovers , how often do you water your slipper orchids #Paphiopedilum )? 🌸 My #PaphiopedilumOrchid has been looking a bit worse for the wear recently. I noticed that one of her leaves has a split in it, and other have yellowed. I’m suspecting a watering issue. Has anyone else ever had symptoms like this with their slipper orchids?

Help with slipper orchid Anyone know what could be wrong with my slipper orchid? She was doing fine but now has these small brown spots on some leaves. And one leaf is yellowing. She’s not in direct sunlight. I don’t know if it could be over or under watering. Any ideas? 🤔

Magic Cherry Orchid prefers for the soil to dry out between waterings and should be watered regularly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.

Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.

If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.

Magic Cherry Orchid does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.

Reviews for "Dive into the World of Paph Magic Cherry: A Comprehensive Species Guide"

1. Emma - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Paph Magic Cherry orchid. I had high hopes for its vibrant red color, but it turned out to be more of a dull burgundy. Additionally, the flowers only lasted for a couple of weeks before wilting. I expected better quality for the price I paid.

2. Michael - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Paph Magic Cherry orchid. The plant arrived with several yellowing leaves and looked overall unhealthy. Despite my best efforts to care for it, the orchid continued to wither and eventually died within a few months. I would not recommend this variety to anyone.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Paph Magic Cherry orchid did not live up to its name for me. The flowers were small and lacked the vibrant cherry color I was expecting. Additionally, the plant required high humidity and constant misting, which made it a challenging orchid to care for. I would advise considering other orchid varieties before investing in this one.

4. Daniel - 3 stars - While the Paph Magic Cherry orchid had decent foliage, I was disappointed by its lack of scent. I had hoped for a fragrant orchid to add to my collection, but this one fell short in that aspect. The flowers were also smaller than I anticipated, and the overall presentation was underwhelming.
