Light: Bright indirect - medium light. Window direction doesn't matter as long as it is within 3 feet of a window. Protect leaves from direct sun exposure.
Water: Water frequently in hot months when media has reached dry. Do not allow to stay dry for long periods (pseudobulbs will shrivel, leaves will dry and drop).

Fertilizing: Heavy feeding Spring-Summer. 1/4 strength urea-free fertilizer, every watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Decrease to every other watering or once monthly in Winter. Run clean room temperature tap water through the pot once monthly to prevent salt build up.
