Light:
Provide bright, indirect light for Rlc. Chia Lin 'Sun Light'. It thrives in medium to high light conditions, making it perfect for an east or west-facing window with some shading during the hottest hours of the day.

Maintain warm temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) during the day, with a slight drop at night to stimulate blooming.

Humidity:
This orchid prefers moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 50-70%. To achieve this, consider using a humidifier or misting the plant regularly to maintain the necessary humidity.

Watering:
Water thoroughly when the potting mix is almost dry. Ensure good drainage and avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to root rot.

Potting Mix:
Rlc. Chia Lin 'Sun Light' grows best in a well-draining orchid mix composed of bark, perlite, and charcoal. Repot every 1-2 years or when the potting medium starts to break down to maintain optimal growing conditions.
