Zygonisia (Z. Advance Australia x Zns. Cynosure)

Like others I am also working on my Zygo culture. My husband loves this group but refuses to join the orchid cult. So, I grow a few things that he likes in hopes that he will break and join us.

Beautifum flowering. Is cultivation a bit tricky? Growing like a zigopetalum?

 

[Djthomp28]

Thanks all.

I have had the best luck keeping these moist (not wet) with excellent air circulation! As long as those two elements are covered I don't have leaf spotting issues. If I let them dry out for any considerable amount of time the left spotting starts and gets out of hand quickly. Otherwise cultivation has been fairly straight forward.
