This clone 'splash' is a vigorous, large evergreen orchid known for its reliable growth and unique floral pattern. Its vibrant color splashes on petals and sepals distinguish this prized cultivar among collectors.
Light: Bright light conditions are required. Provide ample light, but shield the plant from hot, direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions. Maintain daytime temperatures between 65−82°F (18−28°C), with a desirable drop at night to stimulate flowering.
Humidity: Demands high humidity, ideally between 50−70%. Excellent air movement is essential to prevent water accumulation and maintain plant health.
Watering: Water regularly and generously during the active growth period, allowing the potting medium to dry out almost completely between waterings.
