Care Tips:

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

  • Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures, ideally between 18–28°C (64–82°F). A slight nighttime temperature drop is beneficial.

  • Humidity: Prefers high humidity levels, ideally between 80–85%.

  • Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the medium to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during the dormant period.

  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced orchid fertilizer during the growing season.

  • Substrate: Suitable for cultivation in well-draining orchid mix, mounted on cork or tree fern slabs, or in hanging baskets.

  • Rest Period: After blooming, allow the plant to rest by reducing watering and feeding to encourage new growth.
