Chiloschista species

[Ron-NY]

Picked this up a couple of years ago from a Thai vendor at the NY show. It is a leafless orchid. I have it growing on a piece of plastic wire cloth

Is it fragrant, like chocolate?

chiloschista ramifira culture help????? please

I recently aquired a really well developed chilocshist ramifira {leafless orchid from thailand} and i really have little information about its care.,there is very little available on the web. i only can asume that they should be care for like the other chiloschista's. that is high humidity, medium light daily mistings. I have not read anything about fertilizing. i guess ill try light feedings once a week with my normal msu mix.?????

It looks like a semi-alba/alba form of parishii or ramifera (forgot which, the one with a single big blotch in the centre of each petal)... Very nice..

I killed the one chiloschista I had. I would like to get more but they're really hard to get round these parts! Queens you say, hmmm! :evil:

Very nice!!! Unfortunatelly all of mine died.....! The roots seemd to dehydrate/ rot, although I was watering them properly (I guess)...!
