Butterfly orchid requires specific attention to mimic its natural tropical environment. One critical point is ensuring high humidity while providing good air circulation to prevent issues like rot. It's also vital to balance light, offering bright, indirect exposure without direct sun that can scorch the leaves. Watering should be done sparingly; allow the top part of the growing medium to dry out between waterings.
