Lighting & Temprature:Zygos like moderate light (imagine the kinds of shade they’d get in the rainforest). On occasion, give the li’l fellas a mist of water from a spraybottle. They like a little extra light, but don’t ever place them in full sun – they are orchids, after all. They prefer a moderate environment – no lower than 50°, and preferably around 60°F night temperatures.

Water: Wait for zygos to be sliightly dry before watering, about every 5-7 days in between. Mist on occasion.

Environment:Zygopetalums’ natural habitat are in the rain forest, so we should try to mimic that sort of environment as best we can in the home.
