Rhynchomyrmeleya Mainor Ruiz

This vigorous intergeneric hybrid showcases large, showy flowers with excellent substance and long-lasting blooms, combining the robust growth habit of Mcp. brysiana with the refined floral characteristics of Rlc. Yasuji Takasaki.

• Light: Bright light with 30-50% shade cloth. Tolerates some direct morning or late afternoon sun, but protect from intense midday rays to prevent leaf burn.
• Temperature: Warm grower. Daytime 75-85°F (24-29°C), nighttime 65-72°F (18-22°C). Tolerates brief temperature fluctuations but performs best with consistent warmth year-round.
• Humidity: 50-70% with good air circulation. Less demanding than many orchids; adapts well to average household humidity with occasional misting or humidity trays.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when medium approaches dryness, typically every 4-7 days depending on conditions. Allow slight drying between waterings; reduce frequency during cooler months.

Additional Notes
