Care Tips:

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

• Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 70–80°F (21–27°C) during the day, with a slight drop at night.

• Humidity: High humidity levels (75–80%) are essential, and a Terrarium can help maintain the necessary moisture. Regular misting or a humidity tray will also support the plant’s high humidity needs.

• Watering: Water when the growing medium feels dry to the touch. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

• Mounting: Grow on cork bark, tree fern, or similar substrates to mimic its natural epiphytic habitat.

• Fertilization: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer during the growing season, following the manufacturer's instructions.
