Grow in a free-draining orchid mix in a sunny position; water freely when in growth (ideally with rainwater) and sparingly over winter, misting rather than watering to keep just moist. Keep cool but frost free while dormant (1-10°C). Tubers will die after flowering but offsets are produced which will form the next year's plants; repot in spring, discarding any depleted tubers.
