Ben's tips on plant care:
- Habitat/Light requirements: partial shade to bright, avoid direct sunlight.
- Substrate: tied up on xaxim or in well-drained orchid substrate with good drainage
- Temperature: optimal at 20-26° C (day), 17-19° C (night)
- Watering: Spray regularly when attached, but allow plant to dry out well. Otherwise, water 1-2 a week when the upper substrate layers begin to dry. Use only lukewarm water with low lime content. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: needs high humidity, use humidifier or place in terrarium.
- Nutrient addition: fertilize moderately every 2 weeks with diluted orchid fertilizer only during the growing season.
- Ensure good ventilation of the terrarium to avoid fungal infestation.
