Acineta antioquiae x Stanhopea wardii Culture

Cultivating this captivating hybrid successfully requires understanding its parental preferences. Here are some key cultural tips:

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: Aim for warm daytime temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F) and cooler nights around 15-20°C (59-68°F) to mimic the temperature fluctuations in its natural environment.
• Humidity: High humidity is crucial for optimal growth. Maintain humidity levels between 60-80% by using humidifiers, pebble trays, or misting regularly.
• Watering: Keep the potting mix consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top inch or two of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings.
