Miltonias are often known as Pansy orchids, due to the copious number of colorful and delicate blooms that resemble those of pansies. Blooms are most commonly shades of purple, pink, yellow, or white, with dozens of variations in coloration and pattern. They are early bloomers, often starting in late winter or early spring. Miltonias don't like extremes; they enjoy strong indirect light but not direct sun, stable, moderate temperature, and moderate watering when almost dry.
