- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- Annual from pseudobulbs
- Size
- 10-20cm
- Light & Placement
- A deciduous alpine orchid; keep it in bright partial shade during growth. Avoid strong summer sun and heat.
- Watering
- Water moderately during growth. Once the leaves die back in autumn, stop watering and let the bulbs dry off and rest.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- It is cold-hardy to around 0°C. Overwinter the lifted bulbs in a cool, dry place.
- Soil & Repotting
- A new pseudobulb forms each year while the old one dies, so replant the new bulbs in a well-draining mix every spring.
- Fertilizer
- Fertilize during growth to fatten next year's bulb. Stop feeding once the leaves die back and dormancy begins.
- Dormancy Care
- After the leaves die back in autumn, lift the bulbs, overwinter them somewhere cool and dry, and replant in spring (March-April).
