Water: This orchid prefers regular watering during its active growing season. Allow the potting medium to dry slightly between waterings, ensuring that the roots do not sit in water. Reduce watering during the cooler months when the plant is less active.
Humidity: Brassocattleya Pinky Snookie enjoys moderate humidity levels, ideally between 50-70%. Regular misting or placing the plant near a humidity tray can help maintain the necessary moisture.

Soil: Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as a combination of medium bark, perlite, and charcoal. This mix provides the aeration and drainage needed to keep the roots healthy.
