A miniature to compact species from the montane forests of the Philippines, prized for its clusters of intensely violet-blue flowers — among the most vivid in the genus. It grows as an epiphyte on mossy branches at high elevation, producing cane-like pseudobulbs with a pendulous to semi-erect habit.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; good light promotes prolific blooming.
• Temperature: 50–72°F (10–22°C). Cool to intermediate grower; cool nights are essential to trigger flowering.
• Humidity: 70–85%; mist regularly and ensure strong air movement to replicate its cloud forest habitat.
• Watering: Water freely during active growth; reduce significantly in winter to encourage blooming. Never let roots sit in standing water.

Additional Notes
