How to prune cambria orchid

After flowering ends and the spike begins to yellow. Sever the spent flower spike at its base with sterile scissors. Do not remove old leafless pseudobulbs (backbulbs) — they store water and nutrients. Trim dead leaves cleanly at the base. Repot every 2–3 years when the plant outgrows its container.

Annually (after each bloom cycle). Cambria orchid (Vuylstekeara Cambria 'Plush') is a sympodial hybrid that blooms once per pseudobulb. After all flowers drop, cut the spent spike at its base. Retain all pseudobulbs — even older ones contribute stored energy. Remove dead or yellowed leaves. This orchid needs no further pruning beyond post-bloom tidy-up.
