A note from PlantMom

Cynorkis purpurascens typically shows strong resistance to disease and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult because it needs an environment with high humidity yet good ventilation and minimal harmful pathogens. Excessive watering can result in root rot. Growing Cynorkis purpurascens is suitable for everyone, but keeping it healthy and getting it to flower again requires more growing experience.
