This terrestrial or epiphytic orchid is native to Ecuador. The flowers are short-lived but attractive. Here are some tips for growing it successfully:

• Light: It requires bright light or partial shade for good flowering. Avoid direct, intense sunlight to prevent the leaves from burning.
• Temperature: This is a Cool to Intermediate growing species. Maintain daytime temperatures from 60-80°F (16-27°C) and ensure a crucial nocturnal drop to 58-65°F (14-18°C) to stimulate blooming.
• Humidity: High humidity is essential, ideally between 70% and 80%. Excellent air circulation must be provided at all times to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water regularly and heavily throughout the year to keep the growing medium consistently moist, especially during active growth. Ensure the pot has exceptional drainage to prevent standing water.
