Culture Notes from Donor:
Temperature: Summer 20c to 25c, Night 15c to 19c; Winter 5c to 10c
Humidity: Summer 80% up, Winter 50% to 70%
Growing condition: hill slopes or rock walls, near the water steam, exposed to the sun in the wild, however, most Hong Kong people grow it under heavy shade during summer, and water it every other day. When they want the plant to bloom, they will take the plant completely out of the growing medium and dry it completely for a short period until the inflorescence arises.
Comments: Medium-sized terrestrial plant

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: This orchid is found in an island of distribution in Sri
Lanka and southern India. Plants have not been reported in northeastern
India, but they are found in a large area from eastern Burma (now Myanmar)
and Thailand across Indochina into southern and eastern China, including
Taiwan. Distribution extends northward to as far as the Ryukyu Islands,
extreme southern Japan, and the northern half of Luzon Island in the
Philippines. From Thailand, distribution extends southward and eastward
through Malaya, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Sulawesi, the Molucca Islands, and
New Guinea. Through its range, plants generally are found as terrestrials
in lightly shaded, broad-leaved forest, often in damp situations, at
elevations of 1000-5900 ft. (300-1800 m).
As the two subspecies appear to be found in specific regions, we will
treat each of the subspecies as a separate species as far as selecting
representative climate data, making cultural suggestions, and providing
plant and flower descriptions.
