A cloud forest species whose name references its irregularly shaped lip, a subtle botanical detail that distinguishes it within the genus. Flowers are borne successively on slender upright stems throughout the year, offering a delicate and refined display under cool, humid conditions. This plant is offered in a larger-than-standard commercial size.

• Light: Moderate indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid any direct sun to prevent overheating and leaf damage.
• Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 58–68°F (14–20°C), nighttime 48–55°F (9–13°C); stable cool temperatures are essential for long-term health and blooming.
• Humidity: 70–85%; a humidifier or terrarium with constant air circulation is strongly recommended.
• Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist at all times; never allow roots to dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Found in humid montane cloud forests at elevations of 2,000–3,000 meters; best grown in small pots with fine sphagnum moss or mounted on tree fern where humidity remains consistently high.
