Embreea rodigasiana - care advice?
My international friends 
I bought some orchids last week; among them one Embreea and a basket for putting it inside.
Does this plant need some particular treatments or I can grow it as a Stanhopea?
Thank you!
I'll put some pic during the day
Have a nice day,
Filippo |

Hi guys, here the pics!
Plant had completely dead roots after being packed for one month (more or less).
I think it's producing a floral stem, do you agree?

Hi Sonya (beautiful name!),
yes, hope to let it root soon.
I'm thinking about to cut the floral stem: a lot of energy wasted. What do you think?

Thanks 
Hmm... I'm not an expert, but might consider cutting a spike since it looks like all the roots were clipped. But, I'm not sure ... Hopefully some others will chime in with opinions. |

I know this is an old thread, but I know I've seen sbrofio active recently... I think? I'm wondering... What happened to this one? Did you figure out its culture & did it grow & flower for you?

Hi Mary! Yes I was active in the forum well, my embreeas were doing great but while I was away for holidays, my neighbours "forgot" to water them..... When I was back I tried everything but they were too much compromised :'( But I can say they need exactly Stanhopea care: light but not too much or leaves get sunburnt very quick, a lot of water while growing. Compost never dry. |

Thanks for the update!  I'm so sorry to hear that they succumbed to your neighbor! I've had that happen myself, and it can be heartbreaking :'( |
