Place the plant in a light place where it is around 10 to 15ºC in winter. Do not let the plant dry out, from a new shoot the orchid may give new flowers. This usually takes eight to twelve months.
To water
Watering is best done by immersing the plant in lukewarm (tap) water. Let the plant stand for a while and then drain well. Watering every 5 days is sufficient in summer, and once every 7 days in winter.
Repot
The Bamboo orchid does not thrive in a pot that is too large and will even remain in the same pot for 2 to 3 years. Repotting is therefore only necessary when the Bamboo orchid really no longer fits in the pot.
