-
Light: Thrives in bright, filtered light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided, particularly during peak afternoon hours, as it can cause leaf burn.
-
Temperature: Performs best in cool to intermediate temperature ranges. Maintain daytime temperatures between 16-22°C (60-72°F), with nighttime temperatures dropping to 10-16°C (50-60°F).
-
Humidity: Requires consistently high humidity levels between 65-85%. Ensure excellent air movement to prevent stagnant conditions that could lead to bacterial or fungal problems.
-
Watering: Demands constant moisture without waterlogging. Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive growing medium and maintain consistent dampness throughout the root zone. The growing medium should never completely dry out, but should not remain soggy.
Additional Notes
-
Floral Characteristics: The sequential flowering habit ensures extended blooming periods, making this cross particularly rewarding for collectors seeking exceptional quality specimens.
