Culture & Care
I picked these guys up as a compot (community pot—a small pot of 6 seedling-sized plants) from Kingfisher Orchids in early September 2017. They have grown steadily under my care, with all of the seedlings starting to put out a new leaf within the first month. I grow them in a South-facing window that has a plastic shade over the window to reduce the intensity. They’re grown in about a 30% sphagnum moss mix and they get watered once a week as the medium approaches dryness. I have a small fan running over them to help encourage air movement, especially during the winter months which could result in cooler nights (and I don’t want the plant staying wet and cold for long).
