-
Light: Requires high light intensity to flower well, but protect from harsh midday sun. Target a range of 35,000 to 50,000 lux. Leaves should be medium-green; very dark leaves mean insufficient light.
-
Temperature: This orchid prefers warm to intermediate conditions year-round. Daytime temperatures from 70-85°F (21-29°C), dropping to 60-65°F (16-18°C) at night.
-
Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity between 50-70%. Excellent, constant air movement is mandatory to prevent fungal issues in high humidity.
-
Watering: Water only when the potting mix is nearly dry. This fast-growing orchid in small pots may need frequent watering in warm seasons. In cooler months, reduce watering but prevent the pseudobulbs from shriveling.
Additional Notes
This hard-stemmed plant produces long-lasting flowers in spikes that emerge from the upper nodes of mature stems. The stems are tall and erect, and may lose their foliage to give way to new growth.
