Water: Adapted to tropical undergrowth, false helmetorchids thrives in consistently humid environments and requires weekly watering without waterlogging. Cultivated indoors, it prefers stable temperatures and indirect light, benefiting from periodic misting to mimic its native habitat's humidity.

Propagation: Propagating false helmetorchids mainly involves seed sowing, requiring a symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi for germination. Provide high humidity, consistent moisture, and diffused light in controlled temperatures. Steps include seed collection, sterilization, flasking in nutrient medium, and transplanting established seedlings.
