Suitable materials:

Sphagnum moss (light layer)

Tree fern fiber

Cork or hardwood mounts

Use a diluted balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) weekly.

"Weakly, weekly" rule: 1/4 to 1/2 strength.

Flush with plain water every few weeks to avoid salt buildup.

Flowers are small and spaced along the stem.
