Light: Requires bright light conditions with some direct morning sunlight. Provide maximum light possible without burning to ensure optimal growth and flowering.

Humidity: Demands high humidity levels of 65-85% with excellent air movement to prevent stagnant conditions around the plant.
Watering: Water generously during active growth, allowing the medium to approach dryness between waterings. Reduce watering during rest periods to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes

Produces striking flowers with deep purple to brown petals and contrasting broad lip ranging from pink to lavender, often adorned with intricate veins or patterns. Blooms emerge in spring and summer with remarkable longevity and delightful fragrance.
Received a Gongora Aceras. Disappointed iin the quality of pant. Most pants I have received are maybe 1 to2 years from bloom. But, this pant appears to be a compot of small plants very tender, very small roots. (But healthy) Several years from blooming.
Plants arrived, well-packaged, healthy, and damage free. Will order from Ecuagenera again.
So big and beautiful! Very healthy and a new leaf is on its way! I LOVE the quality of plants I get from Ecuagenera every time!
