A note from PlantMom

Leafless bentspur orchid usually has strong disease resistance and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is regarded as difficult because it needs high humidity while remaining well ventilated and exposed to few harmful pathogens. Overwatering can cause root rot. Cultivating the Leafless bentspur orchid is appropriate for anyone, but keeping it healthy and encouraging it to bloom again requires more growing experience.
