Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Protect the plants from the intense midday and afternoon sun in the Gulf area to prevent leaf scorching. Morning sun is ideal.
Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures, ideally between 18–29°C (65–85°F). They can tolerate brief periods above 38°C (100°F) if humidity and air circulation are high.
Humidity: High humidity (50-70%) is crucial. Use a humidity tray (a saucer with pebbles and water, ensuring the pot is above the water level) or a humidifier. Regular misting, especially during warmer months, helps.
Watering: Water frequently, often daily in hot weather, as the plants do not have a rest period. The potting mix should remain slightly moist but never waterlogged. Use well-draining media like bark or coconut husk chips.
Air Circulation: Ensure adequate air movement to prevent fungal infections, which can be an issue with high humidity.
Potting: Use a coarse, well-draining orchid mix or grow in baskets, as they are large, vining epiphytes. Provide upright support for their growth.
