Care Guide

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light. Avoid direct midday sun, which can quickly overheat or scorch this miniature plant.
• Water: Keep evenly moist throughout the year while allowing excellent drainage. Do not allow the fine roots to remain dry for extended periods or sit in stagnant water.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity with constant, gentle air circulation.
• Temperature: Grow in cool conditions with cool nights and minimal daytime heat. Sustained warmth can stress the plant.
• Growing medium: Use fine, moisture-retentive yet airy media, or grow mounted with a small pad of sphagnum where frequent watering can be provided.

For growers able to provide cool, humid conditions, this cross offers extraordinary color in a tiny footprint, with long-lasting blooms that can nearly eclipse the plant itself.
