Keep the substrate consistently moist, mimicking its natural boggy habitat, especially during the growing season.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period in winter, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Avoid waterlogging.

Remove spent flower spikes after blooming to encourage energy redirection to the pseudobulbs. Cut back any dead or yellowing foliage in autumn or early spring before new growth emerges.

This helps maintain plant health and prevents disease.

Propagation is primarily done by division of established clumps during repotting. Carefully separate pseudobulbs, ensuring each division has at least one healthy pseudobulb and roots.

Replant immediately into suitable orchid mix.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting medium begins to break down. Use a well-draining orchid mix, ideally one that retains some moisture, such as a bark-based mix with added sphagnum moss.

Repot after flowering or at the start of new growth.
