Care Guide

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light while protecting the plant from intense midday sun and overheating.
• Water: Keep the roots evenly moist throughout the year with excellent drainage. Avoid prolonged dryness as well as stagnant, waterlogged conditions.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity with constant, gentle air circulation.
• Temperature: Grow in cool conditions with cool nights and mild daytime temperatures. Prolonged heat can stress this highland species.
• Growing medium: Use a fine, moisture-retentive yet airy mix, or grow mounted over a small pad of sphagnum where frequent watering can be maintained.

For growers who can provide cool, humid conditions, this purple form delivers extraordinary depth of color and long-lasting flowers in a beautifully miniature package.
