Ben's tips on plant care:

- Location/light requirements: semi-shaded to shaded
- Substrate: mounted with Ben's Premium Sphagnum moss on Xaxim, roots or branches
- Temperature: optimal at 18-22 °C (day), 15-17 °C (night)
- Watering: Spray when mounted (daily during the growth phase, otherwise every 2-3 days), but allow the plant to dry out well. Only use lukewarm water with a low lime content. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place it in the terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: Fertilize moderately every 2 weeks with diluted orchid fertilizer during the growing season.
- To keep the moisture at its roots, the plant should ideally be tied up with some sphagnum moss.
- Ensure that the terrarium is well ventilated to prevent fungal infestation.
