Caring for Schismatoglottis wallichii from Thailand involves several important factors:

Light

  • Bright, indirect light: Prefers filtered sunlight. Too much direct sun can cause leaf burn.

Watering

  • Keep soil moist: Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, but avoid soggy conditions. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Humidity

  • High humidity: Thrives in humidity levels of 60-80%. Consider using a humidifier or placing the pot on a humidity tray.

Temperature

  • Warm temperatures: Ideal range is 70-85°F (21-29°C). Protect from sudden temperature drops.

Soil

  • Well-draining mix: Use a peat-based potting mix that retains moisture but drains well. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve drainage.

Fertilizing

  • Balanced fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Repotting

  • Every 1-2 years: Repot when the plant becomes root-bound or the soil degrades.

Pests

  • Check for pests: Regularly inspect for common pests like spider mites and aphids. Treat as needed.

With these care tips, your Schismatoglottis wallichii should thrive
