Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and blooming. Avoid exposing the orchid to direct sunlight, as it may cause leaf burn.

Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature range between 65°F and 80°F (18°C - 27°C) during the day, and a slightly cooler temperature at night. This mimics its natural tropical habitat.

Watering: Water the orchid thoroughly, allowing the potting medium to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it may lead to root rot. Orchids generally prefer a slightly humid environment, so misting the leaves occasionally can be beneficial.

Fertilization: Feed the orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce the frequency during the dormant period.

Potting: Repot the orchid every one to two years using a well-draining orchid potting mix. As the plant grows, it may require a larger pot to accommodate its expanding root system.
