A large, well-established division of this vigorous, scandent epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, with elongated stems bearing thick, glossy elliptic leaves and abundant aerial roots. The flowers display the genus’ signature structure — antennal petals and dorsal sepal above an elongated synsepal — distinguished by a distinctly trilobed, hairy lip that gives the species its name.

• Light: Moderate indirect light with 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the glossy foliage.
• Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); a cool grower requiring consistent cool conditions and strong airflow.
• Humidity: 70–85%; high humidity with good air circulation is essential for healthy growth and continuous blooming.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist at all times; the absence of pseudobulbs means no drought tolerance.

Additional Notes

Blooms repeatedly from the leaf axils throughout the year. Best grown mounted on cork bark or in a hanging basket with sphagnum moss to accommodate its scandent habit. Ships bare-root in excellent condition.
