This hybrid of Masd. Afternoon Delight and Masd. MacInnes' Golden Heart produces elegant yellow flowers with long, tapering sepal tails. Upright flower stems hold the blooms above the foliage for a graceful, open display.
-
Light: Moderate, filtered light or bright shade. An east-facing window with protection from direct sun is suitable.
-
Temperature: Cool to intermediate-growing; 55–75°F (13–24°C), with cooler nights. Protect from prolonged heat.
-
Humidity: Maintain 70–85% humidity with gentle, continuous air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the roots consistently moist without leaving the pot waterlogged. Use low-mineral water and a fine, airy orchid mix; do not allow the substrate to dry out completely.
Additional Notes:
Narrow, upright green leaves form a tidy clump. Without water-storing pseudobulbs, this orchid benefits from attentive watering and fresh substrate; repot when the mix begins to break down, preferably as new roots develop.
