Widelip orchids or the 'Widow Orchid', requires particular care for healthy growth. The basic care needs include ample shade, frequent watering, humid conditions, and rich, well-drained soil. Common challenges include susceptibility to pests like slugs or aphids and diseases like root rot, especially in waterlogged soil. Household environments can be too dry for widelip orchids. Seasonally, widelip orchids must be shielded from harsh sunlight in summer and overwatering in winter could be detrimental. Monitoring light, moisture, and humidity levels year-round ensures widelip orchids's distinctive foliage and bloom.
