Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves. East- or north-facing windows work best.
- Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top layer of the soil begins to feel dry, and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting to maintain optimal conditions.
- Temperature: Grows best in temperatures between 18–27°C.
- Soil: For best results, use a well-draining orchid mix, typically made of bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years, or when the potting medium breaks down. Always use fresh orchid mix.
- Pruning: Remove spent blooms and any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy and healthy.
