Phaiocalanthe Kryptonite 'Chariots of Fire
I ordered this plant from Larrrys Orchids It is a small little guy but it has 2 growths!! 2!! Hurray!!
I noticed that the plants leaves look a lot like that of catasetum...is that the family these plants belong in.
If you are not familiar with the technical name it is also called a "Nun Orchid". I will be following the planting guide for this of soil/perlite mix which it was already in. HOWEVER! The guidelines also suggest repotting using peat moss...is there a better alternative for this. Everywhere that carries potting soil has already pulled their small bags of peat moss.
Attached is the picture of the flower that the seller uses. I will post pictures later of my little guy once he is through soaking.
Thanks in Advance!!
