Phrag. ecuadorense - 2 clones

[John M]

I love this tiny species. These are my 2 favourite clones. The first, 'Charlie' has a very large flower for the species and the other 'Si' has flowers about half the size of 'Charlie'. The 'Si' clone is also very vigorous and seems to be in bloom all the time.

:clap::clap: Gosh darn! wish mine would bloom! So darn cute & they take up such little space. I moved mine to an area of more light, hope that helps!

Thanks everyone!

Hint: I have found this species to be a "long-day" plant. Under lights for a minimum of 12 hours a day in the house, it blooms as each growth matures, all year 'round. In the greenhouse, the plants will continue to produce new growths; but, new flower spike initiation stops until the days start to get longer again. Also, Cattleya light intensity levels seem to be a requirement too.

Thanks for the culture tips John. I like them both. You can tell they are cousins!

Both are nice, but I adore the first one! If you should ever have any divisions, then please put me down for one!

[Phrag-Plus]

Both are nice but the first one is very attractive. I do like the pouch coloration and the intense sparklings in it. Very nice!
