Water thoroughly when the potting medium is dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain away completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period to encourage rest.

Overwatering is a common mistake and can be detrimental to this orchid's health.

Prune away spent flower spikes and any dead or yellowing leaves. Remove any decaying or diseased pseudobulbs or roots to maintain plant health.

Pruning is generally minimal and focused on removing unhealthy parts rather than shaping the plant.

Propagation is typically achieved by division of mature pseudobulbs. Ensure each division has at least three healthy pseudobulbs and some viable roots.

Pot the divisions in a suitable orchid mix and maintain consistent moisture and warmth until new growth appears.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting medium has broken down. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark-based compost.

Repot after flowering, as new roots begin to form.
