Chysis should also be kept in higher humidity during growth and a want a bit less light. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring active growth keep them evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Reduce watering and fertilizing in the winter, only watering when the bulbs start to shrivel (about every 7-10 days).\u003cbr\u003eThese do exceptionally well in hanging baskets - if in baskets, water every day or every other day during active growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves will drop once the bulb is fully developed, this is when watering should be reduced. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese plants will bloom from the new growth, and unlike many orchids they bloom before the new growth has finished developing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eflowers are also lightly, sweetly scented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlooming size plants in 2\" pots. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Leaves will turn yellow and drop after new growth\/bulbs mature, as these are deciduous plants.
