Water: Native to tropical regions, cyrtopodium flourishes in high humidity and consistent moisture. Water weekly without waterlogging, and mist during the growing season to maintain ambient moisture. This care mimics its natural habitat, supporting healthy growth as an epiphyte commonly cultivated indoors.

Propagation: Propagation of cyrtopodium involves seed sowing and division, requiring bright light, warmth, and well-draining, high-organic media. Seeds need specific soil fungi for germination. For division, water thoroughly, separate pseudobulbs with clean tools, pot properly, and maintain high humidity and indirect light until established.
