Rosimeire, eu tenho uma dessas em minha casa. Esta da foto está crescendo ao ar livre, embaixo de uma árvore. Elas não requerem cuidados especiais, apenas um lugar sem luz direta e água. Eventualmente, você pode usar fertilizantes líquidos, mas eu não uso. / Rosimeire, I have one of these in my home. This photo's plant is growing outdoors under a tree. They require no special care, just a place without direct sunlight and water. Eventually, you can use liquid fertilizers, but I do not use.
I love this orchid. I first saw it when I was in Sri Lanka many years ago and there the local name for it was Kandian Dancer, as it resembled the colours and stance of the men in their traditional costumes.
