A vigorous species from high-altitude cloud forests, producing dense, branching racemes packed with small, star-shaped flowers with narrow reflexed tepals and a contrasting white-to-lavender trilobed lip. Known for its exceptionally long bloom duration and floriferous habit.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 60–70% shade cloth; tolerates more light than many cool growers, which encourages blooming.
• Temperature: 54–72°F (12–22°C); an intermediate to cool grower that benefits from nighttime temperature drops — minimum 45°F (7°C) tolerated briefly.
• Humidity: 70–85%; good air movement is essential to prevent fungal issues at the base of the stems.
• Watering: Water twice a week, allowing the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid standing water around the roots.

Additional Notes

Grow in a mix of 80% pine bark and 20% pumice for excellent drainage. Plant is well-established and shipped bare root. A rewarding species for intermediate to cool-grower collections, prized for its long-lasting floral display.
