-
Light: Bright, filtered light with protection from intense midday sun. An east-facing window or lightly shaded greenhouse is suitable.
-
Temperature: Cool to intermediate-growing; aim for daytime temperatures of 60–75°F (16–24°C) and nights of 50–60°F (10–16°C). Avoid prolonged heat and provide a noticeable drop in temperature at night.
-
Humidity: Maintain 70–85% humidity with gentle, continuous air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the growing mix evenly moist during active growth without leaving the roots waterlogged. Use rainwater, reverse-osmosis water, or other low-mineral water. Adjust watering as growth slows, but do not impose a prolonged dry rest.
Additional Notes:
Leafy, segmented canes form a clumping plant with narrow green leaves. This listing offers a larger plant, not a separate cultivar. Use an airy, moisture-retentive orchid mix and retain healthy older canes, which store reserves for future growth. Repot when new roots begin to develop.
