light
Place in bright, indirect to medium light.
soil
Plant in an orchid specific potting mix containing bark, perlite, and charcoal. Repot each year for plant health. Don’t pack soil too tightly as orchids need good drainage.
water
Water weekly when growing vegetatively. Cut back to bi-weekly when flowering. Never water the leaves directly - just give the soil a good soak.
fertilizer
Fertilizer with an orchid specific fertilizer to promote blooms - specifically in September or October to provoke a flower spike.
