The long lasting flowers are scented, particularly at night. Brassavola nodosa like an intermediate to warm position with plenty of light. A suitable compost is a mixture of osmunda fibre or chopped tree-fern with sphagnum moss and perhaps a little bark. During the growing period they require plenty of water. After the pseudobulbs have finished growing, water should be restricted for a few weeks during the rather indefinite rest period.
Propagation is by division of strong plants at the beginning of the growing season.
