• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh direct sunlight which can damage the delicate pseudobulbs and leaves.
• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures should range between 20-28°C (68-82°F), with cooler nights at 15-20°C (59-68°F).
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally between 60-80%. Excellent air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues while maintaining proper moisture levels.
• Watering: Water regularly during growing season, allowing slight drying between waterings. Reduce watering during winter rest period but never allow complete desiccation.

Additional Notes
