Water: Originating from Asian tropical rainforests, champion's diploprora thrives in moist soil and high humidity. It requires weekly watering and excellent drainage to prevent root rot, as it is adapted to stable water supplies and should mimic its natural habitat for optimal health.

Fertilize: For optimal growth, champion's diploprora requires monthly high-nitrogen fertilization during spring and summer, reducing to bimonthly in fall and pausing in winter. Apply diluted to half-strength to prevent root burn. Monitor growth to adjust frequency and avoid over-fertilization, ensuring vigorous, lush foliage and flowering.

Pruning: Champion's diploprora thrives with early to late spring pruning, emphasizing the removal of dead stems and overgrowth for optimal air circulation and sunlight. This promotes blooming and size control. Using clean, sharp tools is crucial to prevent disease. Refer to horticultural guides for tailored techniques.

Propagation: Champion's diploprora should be propagated through the careful division of its pseudobulbs, ensuring each section has a growth node. Handle roots gently to avoid damage. Post-division, place in a well-draining orchid medium to promote proper root establishment and growth.
