Water thoroughly when the potting medium is almost dry, typically every 7-10 days during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the pseudobulbs to shrivel slightly.

Ensure good air circulation to prevent root rot. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Remove spent flower spikes and any dead or damaged leaves or pseudobulbs. Pruning is generally minimal for this species, focusing on maintaining plant health and appearance.

Sterilize pruning tools to prevent disease transmission.

Propagation is primarily done through division. When a plant becomes overcrowded or outgrows its pot, carefully divide it into smaller sections, ensuring each division has at least 2-3 healthy pseudobulbs and roots.

Allow cuts to callus before repotting.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark or charcoal-based media. Repotting is best done after flowering when new root growth is evident.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the root ball.
