Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light to your orchid. A spot near an east or west-facing window, where it receives filtered sunlight, is ideal. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it may cause leaf burn.

Temperature and Humidity: Maintain a moderate temperature range between 60°F (15°C) and 80°F (27°C) during the day, with a slight drop at night. Aim for humidity levels between 50% and 70%, which can be achieved by using a humidifier or placing the orchid on a tray with water-filled pebbles.

Watering: Water your orchid thoroughly but allow the top inch of the potting medium to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Use room temperature water and ensure proper drainage.

Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid potting mix that consists of bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite. This combination provides adequate aeration and prevents waterlogging.

Fertilization: Feed your orchid regularly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the resting period (fall and winter).

Repotting: Repot your C. trianae 'Cashens' FCC/AOS x L. praestans 'Brandi' AM/AOS every 1-2 years, preferably after the blooming period. Choose a slightly larger pot to accommodate the growing root system.

Air Circulation: Good air circulation is crucial for preventing the onset of diseases and maintaining healthy foliage. Avoid placing your orchid in stagnant or excessively humid areas.
