Care Guide

• Light: Provide low to medium filtered light, avoiding direct midday sun.
• Water: Keep the roots lightly and consistently moist. Water often enough to prevent prolonged drying, while allowing excess water to drain freely.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity together with continuous gentle air movement to prevent stagnant conditions.
• Temperature: Grow in cool to intermediate conditions with cooler nights when possible. Protect the plant from prolonged heat.
• Growing medium: Grow mounted with a moisture-retentive layer or in a small container filled with fine, airy orchid media. Keep the root zone fresh and never compacted.

With filtered light, dependable moisture, high humidity, cool conditions, and gentle airflow, Mediocalcar versteegii can develop into an intricate miniature specimen for the dedicated orchid grower.
