Finding light for Wild Coco in your home
Wild Coco may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Wild Coco in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Wild Coco
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 Wild Coco after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Healthy coconut orchid I got this coconut orchid a few months ago. I have never had this type of orchid. Can anyone give any advice on if it look healthy or if I need to do anything differently? It is still in the same pot and soil from when I purchased it. Any advice would be appreciated!

Orchid repotting help! Found on the sidewalk and brought home, but I don't know squat about orchids! For starters: what should I trim off before repotting? (I have a terracotta orchid pot waiting for it 😋). Any help would be much appreciated! #Orchids
