Mauna Kea is a houseplant orchid grown for long-lasting sprays of elegant blooms that hold for weeks, often months, far outlasting any cut arrangement. Between flowerings, the tidy foliage keeps a low profile on a windowsill or desk.

Give it bright, indirect light, never harsh midday sun, and water when the bark mix approaches dryness, letting it drain fully. It appreciates humidity and steady room temperatures. After the blooms drop, keep up the same care and be patient; healthy orchids rebloom.
