Schoenorchis tixieri
Good morning to everyone, I'm new to this forum but not new to orchid growing. I just bought one of these (Schoenorchis tixieri) and was trying to find growing requirements for it. I didn't know there were so many of the same genus that look so much alike... I mean, they look a LOT alike! I could barely tell the photos apart. Mine was in bloom when I received it and apparently stays and bloom for quite a while (it's been in bloom for 3-4 weeks already). As I said I was trying to find some information so I can care for it properly. Apparently what I'm doing so far seems to be okay: high light & humidity, I-W temps, above average air circulation (I read where they should be misted a few times a day/of course you don't want root rot so you have to let the roots dry properly). Other than that, I don't know what to do after it's done blooming. Do I cut it off? It's so small I can barely see it (seriously, it's a good thing I'm a mineral collector because I have a loupe/need it to see what I'm doing when I even water it so I don't get the flowers wet!). Has anyone had one of these for a few years that can give me some advice?
