How to keep Calochilus Platychilus.
Pruning
To promote new growth and blooms, Calochilus platychilus should be pruned in early spring. Be sure to remove any dead foliage and trim back overgrown stems to improve air circulation. However, take care not to over-prune, as this can make the plant more susceptible to pests. With the right balance, you'll ensure that the plant remains healthy and attractive.
