Stelis viridula is a cool growing orchid species.  This plant enjoys growing as an epiphyte; plants thrive when mounted onto a piece of cork bark.  Stelis viridula grows best in an area that receives soft filtered, diffused light.  These orchids require high humidity levels, therefore Stelis viridula need to be grown inside a terrarium, vivarium, orchidarium, or bottle garden, to  create and maintain a constantly humid environment.
