This compact hybrid displays vivid orange flowers with deeper reddish-orange shading toward their centers. Broad, spreading floral segments create a striking display on a small plant, ideal for a carefully managed cool growing space.
-
Light: Bright, filtered light with protection from hot direct sun. An east-facing window or shaded greenhouse position is suitable when temperatures remain moderate.
-
Temperature: Cool- to intermediate-growing; aim for days of 62–74°F (17–23°C) and nights of 50–58°F (10–14°C). Avoid sustained heat and provide cooler nights.
-
Humidity: Aim for 70–85% with gentle, continuous air movement. Avoid stagnant air around damp leaves and developing growths.
-
Watering: Keep the roots evenly moist in an airy, freely draining medium, never waterlogged. Use low-mineral water and avoid prolonged drying or a dry winter rest. Apply dilute orchid fertilizer during active growth and flush the medium regularly.
Additional Notes:
Short stems and narrow, textured green leaves form a compact clump. Use a small pot with loosely packed sphagnum and airy amendments, allowing room for new growth without overpotting. Repot when new roots emerge and handle established roots gently.
