Care Guide

• Light: Provide low to medium, filtered light and protect the foliage from direct midday sun.
• Water: Keep the roots consistently moist while allowing excess water to drain freely. This species should not experience a pronounced dry rest.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity with gentle but continuous air circulation.
• Temperature: Grow in intermediate conditions with cooler nights and protection from prolonged heat.
• Growing medium: Grow mounted or in a small basket with moisture-retentive material around the roots, allowing the pendant stems to develop naturally.

With soft light, humid moving air, and reliable moisture, Dichaea ancoraelabia can mature into a beautifully cascading specimen with fascinating botanical detail.
