Description

Place in a position with bright indirect light, adequate air circulation and humidity. This species enjoys having the potting soil slightly moist, however after flowering in the fall, the plant enjoys a dry period, resting for when it wakes back in the Spring. Pot in a medium that is well draining and chunky, like orchid bark, perlite and charcoal or something similar. Allow the medium to lightly dry in between watering, make sure not to overwater or root rot will occur. Protect from freezing temperatures.
