Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of the potting mix feels dry.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods, but avoid letting the plant completely dry out. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Remove spent flower spikes at their base once blooming has finished. Trim away any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves or pseudobulbs as needed to maintain plant health and appearance.

Pruning can also be done to manage size and shape.

Sobralia decora is typically propagated by division. Carefully divide mature clumps into smaller sections, ensuring each division has at least 2-3 healthy pseudobulbs and roots.

Replant the divisions immediately into a suitable orchid medium.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the potting medium begins to break down. Choose a pot size that accommodates the root system without being too large.

Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark and perlite, to ensure adequate aeration and moisture retention.
