Care Guide

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light while protecting the foliage from intense midday sun.
• Water: Keep evenly moist during active growth, allowing excess water to drain freely. Avoid prolonged dryness and stagnant, waterlogged conditions.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity with constant, gentle air circulation.
• Temperature: Grow in cool to intermediate conditions with cooler nights and protection from sustained heat.
• Growing medium: Use a fine, airy, moisture-retentive orchid mix, or grow mounted over sphagnum where frequent watering can be maintained.

With cool nights, humid air, and steady moisture, 'Gigi' can form a beautifully detailed miniature specimen whose saturated violet-blue flowers make a remarkable display.
