Epiphytic orchid mix with bark and perlite; do not bury the crown.
Fill the central rosette cup regularly; keep soil slightly moist but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Bright indirect light is essential; direct sun causes leaf scorching and fades silver markings.
Apply diluted liquid fertilizer monthly to the tank or soil during spring/summer active growth only.
Remove spent flower spikes after blooming; detach pups (offshoots) once they reach 1/3 size.
