• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally 60–80%.
• Temperature: Grows well in warm to intermediate conditions with good air circulation.
• Potting: Use a moisture-retentive but well-draining orchid mix, such as fine bark with sphagnum moss or another airy organic medium.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer at quarter strength every 2–3 weeks during active growth, reducing applications during slower periods.
