-
Light: Bright indirect light to filtered morning sun; strong light levels are essential to maintain thick vegetative growth and promote a successful blooming season.
-
Temperature: 50–75°F (10–24°C); a cool to intermediate grower that benefits significantly from noticeable day-to-night thermal drops to trigger flowering.
-
Humidity: 50–70%; moderate ambient humidity paired with constant, gentle air movement prevents rot and maintains pristine foliage.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly to keep the medium evenly moist during active growth, allowing the substrate to dry slightly during winter rest.
Additional Notes
Growing this medium-statured plant in a well-draining, moisture-retentive terrestrial mix ensures optimal root development to support its large flowers. Ships bare root and well established; please ensure a gentle rehydration at an intermediate temperature before final potting upon arrival.
