✅ Care Requirements

☀️ Light

• Bright, indirect light is best.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Can tolerate medium light but growth will slow.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil lightly moist.

• Water when the top inch (2–3 cm) feels dry.

• Avoid waterlogging — roots hate soggy conditions.

• This hybrid tends to be more forgiving of underwatering than overwatering.

💦 Humidity

• Thrives in 60–80% humidity.

• High humidity encourages faster, healthier growth and prevents leaf crisping.

• Use a humidifier, pebble trays, or frequent misting if needed.

🌡️ Temperature

• Prefers 18–28°C (65–82°F).
  

🌱 Soil Mix

• Needs a very airy, chunky, and fast-draining mix.

• Ideal soil recipe:

  • 40% orchid bark

  • 20% perlite

  • 20% sphagnum moss

  • 10% horticultural charcoal

  • 10% coco coir or light aroid soil

This balances moisture retention with excellent airflow to roots.

🌸 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

• Use a diluted balanced fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) or an aroid-specific fertilizer.
  

🔁 Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

• Always use a pot with drainage holes.
