Essential Care GuideTo get the most out of your Rth. Lemon Drop \'NN\', aim to mimic its native tropical canopy environment:

• Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. A South- or East-facing window with a sheer curtain is ideal to prevent the leaves from scorching.
• Watering: Allow the potting medium to dry out almost completely between waterings. These orchids hate wet feet, which can quickly lead to root rot.
• Humidity & Airflow: Aim for a moderate humidity range of 50% to 70%. Pair this with good ambient air movement to keep the plant healthy and prevent fungal spots.
