Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Mist occasionally to maintain humidity.
Remove spent flower stalks and any dead or yellowing leaves. Pruning is generally minimal, focusing on maintaining plant health and shape.
Propagate by division of established clumps during repotting in spring. Ensure each division has healthy roots and at least two pseudobulbs.
Repot every 1-2 years after flowering, or when the potting medium has broken down. Use fresh orchid mix and a pot that is only slightly larger.
