Plant Description

Sympodial. Grows to 26cm. Each new growth has numerous lance shaped oblong shaped leaves that grow to 2-20cm long. Pseudobulbs grow to 0.5-35cm

Climate

Grows at low elevations. Rainfall ranges from 53mm to 160mm per day, heaviest in June and lightest in February. Humidity ranges from 82% to 86%, highest in March and lowest in July. Temperature ranges from 15C to 27C, highest in August (19C to 27C) and lowest in January (15C to 22C).

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.
