This botanical orchid bears intricately structured flowers with a hooded upper sepal and two elongated lower sepals framing a small central lip. Its subtle floral detail makes it a rewarding choice for growers who enjoy observing orchids up close.
-
Light: Low to moderate, filtered light near a shaded window. Protect from direct midday sun.
-
Temperature: Intermediate conditions, approximately 60–78°F (16–26°C), with a gentle drop at night.
-
Humidity: Aim for 70–85% humidity with gentle, continuous air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist without waterlogging. Use rainwater or other low-mineral water, and avoid allowing the fine roots to dry out completely.
Additional Notes:
Use a small pot with an airy, moisture-retentive medium, or mount where frequent watering is practical. Keep developing flower stems unobstructed and avoid removing healthy green inflorescences prematurely. Repot before the medium breaks down, minimizing disturbance to the roots.
