Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; never allow the roots to remain waterlogged.
Additional Notes
This large-flowered orchid performs best when potted in a coarse, fast-draining bark mix to match its medium plant size. It ships bare root, well established, and should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature prior to potting upon arrival.
