Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). I grow this little gem in a southeastern windowsill underneath other plants that filter the light. It likes to be kept on the damp side. It is a very easy orchid to grow and makes a charming plant even when not in bloom.
Comments: Parent plant: Miniature.
