Cyrtochilum diodon

Cyrtochilum diodon Culture

Cyrtochilum diodon belongs to the genus Cyrtochilum and comes from our own propagation in Ecuador. It is a cool-growing orchid.

• Light: Bright, indirect light, out of direct midday sun.
• Temperature: Day temperatures of 15-24 °C (59-75 °F) with a gentle drop at night to 10-15 °C (50-59 °F) suit it best.
• Humidity: High humidity (70-85%) with constant gentle air movement, much like its cloud-forest conditions, keeps the plant healthy and prevents fungal spots.
• Watering: Water regularly during active growth, allowing the medium to begin drying between waterings. Reduce slightly during the cooler months.
