🌱 Cultivation Tips
Not the easiest orchid, but absolutely worth the effort if you're into exotic terrestrials.

🪴 Growing Conditions
Light: Bright, indirect light. Think morning sun or dappled shade.

Temperature: Warm to intermediate (18–30°C / 65–86°F).

Humidity: High (70%+ is ideal).

Watering: Likes it moist during the growing season, but reduce watering after flowering when it goes dormant.

Medium: Loose, well-draining mix — think sphagnum moss, perlite, and some organic matter like leaf mold or coconut husk.

Dormancy: After blooming, it goes dormant and dies back to underground tubers. During this time, reduce watering significantly and keep it just barely moist.

🔁 Growth Cycle
Spring/Summer: New growth and active watering/fertilizing.

Late Summer/Fall: Blooms.

Winter: Dormant. Rest the plant — dry, cool, and minimal water.
