• Water: Drench roots thoroughly, then allow them to turn silvery before the next watering. In heat, water daily; in cooler weather, reduce.

• Humidity & Air: 60–80% with good airflow. Mist roots/leaves in dry spells.

• Fertilizer: Balanced orchid feed at ¼–½ strength every 7–10 days in growth; flush with plain water monthly.
