Water thoroughly when pseudobulbs show slight wrinkling or medium dries. Soak and dry cycle is critical; reduce watering during dormancy.
Bright filtered light essential for blooms; avoid harsh midday sun which scorches leaves, needs strong light in winter.
Apply balanced orchid fertilizer weekly at quarter strength during active growth; cease feeding after flowering to induce rest.
Remove spent flower spikes, cut dead pseudobulbs at the base, remove old roots annually.
