Kandyan Dancer Orchid is distinguished by its striking bloom of yellow flowers, each intricately marked with brown blotches. The myriad flowers dangle in an impressive cluster, reminiscent of a golden shower. Its growth habit is epiphytic, and it thrives in a well-aerating substrate of coarse to medium texture. Foliar presentation is typically lush, providing a verdant backdrop to the floral display. Ideal conditions include bright but indirect lighting and a watering regimen that correlates with the seasons—weekly in times of warmth, tapering off as temperatures decline.
