Cultivation takes place all year round in hanging baskets on the windowsill, very bright on the 4th floor at the east window (morning sun), afternoon sun through the west skylight, direct sunlight without shading.
The inflorescences grow from last year's and the year before last's bulbs.

Watering: daily spraying with rain or osmosis water (depending on availability), in very warm weeks spraying several times a day with rain or osmosis water.

Potted in pure Sphagnum.

Extensive dormancy from approx. mid-Dec. to February/March, the bulbs shrink considerably.

Fertilised every 1 to 2 weeks from March to November (except in the low-light season) with a standard fertiliser complete fertiliser with approx. 200-400 µS/cm, Epsom salt (Epsom salt, 1g/l) is sprayed once a month. Temperatures vary from 16 degrees in winter to over 30 degrees in summer. Blooms once a year in late spring.
