Promenaea riograndensis "Vera Cruz"

orchid527 · Jun 25, 2013

Purchased from Erich Michel and I believe from the stock of the old Hoosier Orchids. Seems to be a pretty durable plant. Has survived temps as low as 50 degrees F and as high as 105 degrees F. I generally don't pay much attention to it.

I hadn't seen this one before, very nice, and nicely grown. Thanks

I like Promenaea, they do well in pots, in sphagnum, in bark mixes, on mounts if you can keep them moist. They get along well in Paph like and temperatures. They like high humidity but get along fine in my winter 'desert season' where my humidity is below 40%. A great genus of mostly compact to miniature species.

Great plant!

I must say I still don't understand Promeneas... They are prone to disease if the summer temperature is higher than 27 C. I also think I gave them to much

New one for me, too. I'd never have thought to mount one.

Got an hybrid, maybe a Promenzella, I may try a division mounted. ^^
