Plant Description

Sympodial. Grows to 20cm. Each new growth has numerous oblong shaped leaves that grow to 2-15cm long. Pseudobulbs grow to 2.5-6cm

Climate

Grows at high elevations. Rainfall ranges from 15mm to 173mm per day, heaviest in August and lightest in February. Temperature ranges from 6C to 18C, highest in March (9C to 18C) and lowest in January (6C to 16C).

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.
