How to care for Baiyu Tiger Skin Orchid
Today, I will explain in detail how to care for Baiyu Tiger Skin Orchid and the planting methods, sharing knowledge about flowers. Let me introduce the details to you below.
Talking about Tiger Skin Orchid, many flower enthusiasts are certainly not unfamiliar with it. It is a very beautiful ornamental leaf plant with fresh and verdant leaves, which adds a high ornamental value to the home. However, recently many flower enthusiasts have privately messaged me saying that they can't seem to care for their Tiger Skin Orchid well, as it always looks wilted and not "spirited" at all. But don't worry, flower enthusiasts! Today, I am here to tell you how to take care of it to make your Tiger Skin Orchid "full of spirit"!
I. Appropriate lighting for care
First, let's talk about the lighting requirements for Tiger Skin Orchid. It is relatively shade-tolerant, and the common potted Tiger Skin Orchid at home does not have high lighting requirements. It only needs sufficient lighting, even scattered light can grow normally.
Except in the hot summer, it is essential to avoid direct sunlight. In other seasons, Tiger Skin Orchid can be exposed to more sunlight. If Tiger Skin Orchid is not exposed to sunlight for a long time, its leaves will become dull and lack vitality.
But all flower enthusiasts must pay attention: before exposing Tiger Skin Orchid to the sun, it needs an adaptation period. Do not place it directly under the sun, as this will hurt the plant. So, we should first put it in a scattered light environment and then gradually adapt to sunlight.

II. Suitable soil for care
Tiger Skin Orchid has a good adaptability to soil and does not have strict soil requirements. However, it prefers loose sandy soil or humus soil. Since Tiger Skin Orchid is drought-resistant, for potted care, you can use fertile garden soil mixed with some coal slag, and then add a little poultry manure as a base fertilizer, which will also make the Tiger Skin Orchid grow strong.
III. Appropriate temperature for care
Let me also tell you about Tiger Skin Orchid's requirements for temperature. It has a good adaptability to temperature, but one thing must be noted: in the cold winter, Tiger Skin Orchid must not be below 10 degrees Celsius for a long time, as it will cause the base of the plant to rot and easily lead to the death of the entire plant.
IV. Maintain proper moisture
Watering Tiger Skin Orchid must be moderate. Flower enthusiasts must master a slogan: better dry than wet. In spring, you can water more as it is the time for Tiger Skin Orchid to sprout. Also, in the hot summer, you must keep the soil moist to prevent the plant from becoming too dry and dying.
