Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; can tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun but avoid harsh midday rays.
• Water: Water generously during growth, allowing the medium to dry slightly before watering again; reduce after flowering until new growths appear.
• Media: Best grown in coarse orchid bark or another free-draining orchid mix.
• Fertiliser: Apply a balanced orchid fertiliser regularly during the active season, reducing in cooler months.
• Temperature: Suitable for intermediate to warm conditions; keep above 10 °C and protect from cold draughts.
• Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, or when the medium begins to break down, placing new growths towards open space in the pot.
