I'm glad you got it!!! :)

I unfortunately can't give you any tips....:)


Enjoy the orchid. :)

I'm still waiting on my plant, but here is a good culture sheet from the AOS. Seems pretty inclusive! Hope this helps!!! AOS Stanhopea Culture Sheet

Anyone left? I' would like to try one!

Maria, I just got my Stanhopea grandiflora and I'm (/udb)

It looks fantastic and I love love love it!
Your card was very sweet too :)

:thanx:

I checked orchidwiz for this one but didn't find any specific information. It does show (by icons) that this one likes low light and the temp range is cold/cool/intermediate

I'm not sure about a winter rest. If I find anything further, I'll let you know :Tup:

The blooms are going to be gorgeous!!! :cloud9:

Susanne,


I'm glad you got it also. I'm surprised they are arriving so quickly!!


You are very welcome and enjoy it! :)

I have a couple of Stans and a member at our OS said that he gets the best growth and blooms when he abuses his by putting them out in the cold.

Now "cold" in Memphis, TN is 40s night-time right now. I did that to one of mine and it seemed to be okay until it got lower than 45 degrees.

So my cut off is 45 degrees and in the GH it goes. If it is going to be higher than that, out it goes.

Humidity is averaging 50% right now outside at my house. They seem to love it.

I got mine in the mail yesterday. Thank you. The plant looks like it is in great condition.

Hopefully this weekend, I will get a slat basket for it. I have the perfect spot for it in the shade room.

Thanks again,
John

I'm glad you got it, and I hope you enjoy growing it.

Good luck!! :)
