Haraella retrocalla (2nd flowering)

[atlantis]

I bought this plant last December.

After having read that many people lost it when mounted and many people lost it when potted, I decided to try it half mounted-half potted using a small basket-pot (used for acuatic plants).
It is planted in a mix of mainly sphagnum with chopped bark and perlite.

The plant has grown very well, sending new bigger leaves, new roots and two floral stems.

It has a strong citric scent only in the evening.

I hope it survives during summertime...

Haraella retrocalla.

Hi Alberto,

I just got one of these at an Orchid Show. Do you have any cultural tips?
