The ring-shaped growth form of the leaves, which are aligned like Olympic rings, has given this unusual miniature orchid the nickname "Olympic Rings". However, it impresses not only with its leaves, but also with its delicate pink flowers and is also a real rarity, as it is hard to find on the market.

Ben's tips on plant care:
- Location/light requirements: partial shade to light, but avoid direct sunlight
- Substrate: tied to Xaxim or in orchid substrate with drainage
- Temperature: optimal at 20-24° C (day), 18-20° C (night), do not allow to cool below 15° C
- Watering: spray when tied up approx. once a week (avoid leaves or allow to dry well!), otherwise only water moderately when the substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm, low-lime water. Avoid waterlogging at all costs. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place it in the terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: fertilize moderately every 4 weeks in spring/summer with diluted liquid fertilizer, less frequently in winter
