One of the most beautiful and easily grown orchids. Like most orchids they need very little water, a good soaking every week during the growing season and a good drain afterwards is perfect. Rain water is preferable. Although these can handle lower temperatures the prefer it in the range of 18-24 C, slightly cooler in the winter. Feed every couple of weeks from May-Sept. Cut back flower spikes when over and trhey will re-flower. Most importantly they need good light but not direct sunlight - this will burn them.
