A warm to intermediate epiphyte from the cloud forests of Central America, producing large, showy flowers with broad, heavily blotched sepals and petals, a wide, rounded lip, and a vivid yellow callus. It grows as a compact plant with pseudobulbs bearing one or two narrow leaves and arching inflorescences that carry the flowers well above the foliage.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
• Temperature: 60–82°F (16–28°C); an Intermediate to Warm grower that appreciates a distinct dry rest to initiate flowering.
• Humidity: 50–70%; good air movement is essential to prevent fungal issues during the rest period.
• Watering: Water freely during active growth; reduce significantly during the rest period, allowing the pseudobulbs to shrivel slightly.

Additional Notes

Can be grown in a standard pot with a well-draining bark mix or mounted on cork or tree fern. A pronounced dry rest is key to reliable blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
