Its root system is a very strong taproot that stores a lot of water and nutrients, so the key when caring for a saxiflage orchid is to wait for the potting soil to dry before watering. If the pot is too high, be sure to pad a large amount of bottom at the bottom of the pot to ensure that it is loose and breathable, and to ensure its breathability and water permeability.
Second, the tiger tail orchid is afraid of dryness.

Many people tend to care for the plant in winter, and find that the leaf tips tend to dry out and turn yellow, or the leaves crack, because the plant is too close to the heating and the air is too dry. Therefore, in this case, it is best to spray or humidify the leaves of the saxifera. Let the leaves always be in a green, neat and beautiful state.
