Plant Description

Sympodial. Grows to 66cm. Each new growth has numerous lance shaped oblong shaped leaves that grow to 4.5-55cm long. Pseudobulbs grow to 1.5-11cm

Climate

Grows at high elevations. Rainfall ranges from 3mm to 69mm per day, heaviest in August and lightest in January. Temperature ranges from 11C to 27C, highest in April (16C to 27C) and lowest in January (11C to 26C).

Watering

These orchids are sensitive to excessive watering and should only be watered when they look thirsty. Water infrequently and ensure that the roots are dry before watering. Keep an eye on them especially during hot weather as overwatering can lead to rot, whereas underwatering may result in wilting or shriveling, which while unattractive, will not kill the plant.
