Seems to like indirect light. I bought at nursery in town and had some brown spots on leaves. This is the second one I have had. The last one died and they replaced. Beautiful fragrance, long lasting blooms

Plant likes bright but indirect sunlight - some morning or evening direct light OK. Grows well indoors. I've got mine in bark (usual orchid mix) but I believe they are semi-terrestrial and can handle very loose, drainable soil. moderate tempaeratures seem fine, humidity in san francisco is around 45-50% - seems quite happy!

This is one of the most popular terreastrial orchids from South America. I don´t know much about it, but I have heard that they can be found on road sides or disturbed and open vegetation, where it can get a room on the ground and recieve fair amounts of sun light.
