Encyclia (Euchile) citrina

[gotsomerice]

Here is my Encyclia citrina. The powerful scent of jasmine/honey/citrus is heavenly! I can smell this ten feet away. The most intriguing thing is there is a bee who decided to just stay in the flower from sunrise to sunset.

That's because she's intoxicated!

Love it, love it, love it! I'm going to print these off and show it to mine as an example of what it should be doing! I'm well-versed in culture information published on the web, but I'm very interested in hearing the personalized specifics of what you do for yours if you can take the time to share.

Growing Tips

I've have this plant for almost 10 years. It's mounted on a piece of 18" long log. It's growing under a shade cloth. In then winter, temp can go down to low 40F. Summer can be in the low 100F. I water it every three-day with R/O water. I don't use fertilizer at all. Hope this help. And more pictures!

Great growing that is amazing! Mine just flowered once and never again in three years. I just follow your advice and not fertilize it and just water it only.

Great! Mine's in bloom now....more fragrant than ever...It never fails to bloom each year, but I've never gotten more than one bloom. I love it...an easy plant to grow and bloom, and I got on Ebay for only $5.............Take care, Eric
