This species seems to offer no challenges to cultivate in Puerto Rico. I have seen it growing well both in hot coastal lowlands and in the cooler mountainous interior. It needs regular watering particularly when grown in the coast where wind and high temperatures dry up fern mounts comparatively quickly. This orchid eventually covers its mount with a mass of growths. I photographed this plant in the garden of one of my cousins. As you can see he grows the plant in fairly high light which causes the new growths to develop a reddish tint.
