Care Requirements

• Light: Requires bright, indirect light; ensure total protection from harsh, direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn and maintain the plant's health.
• Temperature: Strictly cool to intermediate conditions; thrives in night temperatures between 10°C and 16°C (50°F and 60°F), essential for continuous growth and flowering.
• Watering: The medium must be kept evenly and consistently moist at all times, as the plant lacks pseudobulbs. Use high-quality water (rain, distilled) to avoid salt build-up.
• Humidity: Needs high ambient humidity, typically 60% to 80%. Excellent air movement is non-negotiable to prevent moisture-related fungal issues.
• Potting: Use a fine, moisture-retentive, yet highly draining medium such as fine bark, perlite, and Sphagnum moss; repotting every 1-2 years is highly recommended.
• Fertilizing: Fertilize lightly year-round, applying a balanced liquid feed at a very dilute concentration (one-quarter strength or less) at every third or fourth watering.
