Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct midday sun which may scorch leaves.

  • Humidity: Maintain relatively high humidity (60-80%) to mimic its natural montane forest environment. Good air circulation helps.

  • Watering: Water frequently during warm periods, but allow medium to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root and stem rot. Reduce watering when growth slows.

  • Temperature: Prefers intermediate to warm conditions; avoid exposure to cold or frost.

  • Substrate / Mounting: Grow mounted on wood or bark, or in a very well-draining orchid mix. Avoid waterlogging.
