A floriferous reed-stem orchid from the Andean cloud forests of South America, producing large, globe-shaped corymbs densely packed with medium-sized flowers featuring lanceolate, spreading sepals and a trilobed lip with deeply fringed, lacinate margins on all lobes. The bold, spherical inflorescence is one of the most striking in the genus and makes an immediate visual impact in any collection.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the broad leaves.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an intermediate grower that thrives with stable temperatures and good air circulation.
• Humidity: 70–85%; consistent humidity supports vigorous cane development and prolific flowering.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the substrate to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix. The large, globe-shaped inflorescences display best when the plant is grown at eye level. Ships bare root, well-established.
