Water
Water thoroughly when the potting medium is almost dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering during the dormant period, typically in winter, allowing the pseudobulbs to slightly shrivel.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the potting medium is almost dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering during the dormant period, typically in winter, allowing the pseudobulbs to slightly shrivel.
Remove spent flower spikes as they fade. Trim away any dead, damaged, or dried-up pseudobulbs or leaves. Pruning encourages new growth and maintains the plant's aesthetic appeal.
Propagate by division during repotting. Ensure each division has at least 2-3 healthy pseudobulbs and some roots. Allow the cut surfaces to dry for a day before replanting.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark or sphagnum moss. Repot after flowering when new root growth begins.
