Coarse bark mix, sphagnum moss, or charcoal. Epiphytic medium requiring drainage.
Soak roots once a week in lukewarm water. Allow to dry slightly between sessions. Never let sit in standing water.
Bright indirect light only. Direct sun will scorch leaves and inhibit blooming.
Apply diluted orchid fertilizer every 2 weeks during active growth (Spring/Summer). Reduce in winter.
Cut spent flower spikes above the second node or base if brown to encourage reblooming.
