A cool-growing cloud forest species from the high-altitude Andean slopes, producing tall, branched inflorescences with numerous small, intricately patterned flowers. It is a robust, clumping species that rewards consistent cool conditions with reliable, floriferous blooming.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; good light promotes strong pseudobulb development and abundant blooming.
• Temperature: 45–72°F (7–22°C). Intermediate-cool grower; requires consistently cool temperatures and good air movement to thrive.
• Humidity: 60–80%; ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and frequently during active growth; reduce slightly once pseudobulbs mature but never allow to dry out completely.
