Winter preparation of your orchids does depend on the orchid and on your environment.

There are however products that can help your orchids better deal with all the implcations of cooler or even cold weather in winter.

A strong healthy plant still needs some help especially if it is not growing in it's native environment. Much like we all start taking extra vitamins, immune boosters or even getting a cold and flu shot. You can offer your plants the same.

Through using appropriate fertiliser and doing preventative treatments of systemic bacteriacide and fungacide.

There are many organic and chemical products available and we have been looking for and evaluating various options for our orchids and after 2 years of using biostimulants from PANAF we have added their core product range that we use on our shop www.thenakedorchid.co.za

Go check it out online and whatsapp us if you have any questions.

Happy Earth Day 2026. Our orchid collections are a way of keeping mother nature close because she inspires, feeds and keeps us alive. Our collections help protect a small part of the natural world. When we outside exploring our planet we need to leave only footprints and take with us pictures, experiences and memories.

Bizarrely well done to Meta AI for creating this image for me, not perfect but I will take it.
