This is a hybrid orchid from a cross of Mps. vexillaria x Mps. Twin Peaks. This lineage results in a compact plant that produces elegant, large, flat, snow-white flowers.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light. Provide low to medium light intensity, keeping it shaded completely from direct sunlight to prevent the thin leaves from burning.
-
Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Day: 68-75°F (20-24°C). Night: 55-60°F (13-16°C). It requires cool night temperatures to stimulate flowering and prevent heat stress.
-
Humidity: High (70-80%). Needs constant good air circulation. Low humidity or uneven watering can cause accordion-pleated growth deformities.
-
Watering: The medium must be kept consistently moist and should never be allowed to fully dry out. Use water low in mineral salts, such as rainwater or reverse osmosis water, as the roots and leaves are highly sensitive to buildup from tap water.
Additional Notes
Produces large, showy, fragrant flowers, typically in clusters of two to ten blooms. The flowers are noted for their velvety texture and a sweet scent often likened to roses.
