A note from PlantMom

Cheirostylis montana is generally resistant to disease and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult because it needs a high-humidity yet well-ventilated environment with few harmful pathogens. Overwatering can cause root rot. While anyone can grow Cheirostylis montana, keeping it healthy and inducing it to flower again requires more cultivation experience.
