-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; provide vigorous air movement to protect the thick, upright foliage from overheating.
-
Temperature: 59–79°F (15–26°C); a highly adaptable intermediate grower that acclimates effortlessly to standard indoor or greenhouse collections.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity levels ensure robust vegetative growth and preserve optimal flower longevity during the blooming season.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when actively growing, allowing the potting medium to dry significantly between applications, and reduce frequency slightly during the winter rest.
Additional Notes
This eye-catching orchid grows beautifully when mounted or potted in a very coarse, fast-draining bark mix to accommodate its mid-to-large plant size and large flowers. It ships bare root, well established, and should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature prior to potting upon arrival.
