This is growing in a 6 inch pot with Orchiata. There are three growths and they are all in bud, but this one decided to bloom first. It was purchased as a seedling and I do not have information regarding parents. The flower measures 9cm wide x 12 cm tall. Mike

Very nice set up you have. What is your shading, you seem like you have a healthy source of light.

I have a Florian greenhouse with heavy shading. The plants still get a lot of light and I have to be careful that they don't burn or dry out. I jokingly call it my "desiccatorium". Mike

very nicely grown and such an ordered GH.

Soooo nice!

What is your temperature regime to make this species bloom?

Kind regards,
Jens

I grow these in Orchiata with a little extra perlite and I tend to let them dry out a bit, especially in the winter. The temperatures can range from a low of 55 degrees F (13 C) during a winter night to as much as 100 degrees F (38 C) on a summer day. They get a lot of light all year long, as much as any of my Cattleya. They grow well without any blemishes on the leaves and flower regularly, so they must like these conditions. Mike

Very beautiful! Can't wait to see the other blooms.

Malipoense sending up a spike this time of the year?

 

[P.K.Hansen]

That's pretty much what I can give mine - maybe I should try a few from that family

Thank you for the input, Mike!

And by the way, the other plants on the shelves look so healthy and well grown, too! And as Ozpaph already remarked: what a well ordered GH! Good work!

Kind regards,
Jens
