Need culture info for Cycnoches Jumbo Puff 'HC Sky'

[Country Gramma]

Hi Everyone,

I just got my first orchid of this type (from Incredible Orchids)and am at a loss for how to take care of it. I grow indoors under lights (t-5) and CFL.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you need more info let me know.

Thanks, Karen

Thank you so much Steve and Ramon.

I have gone to all the suggested sites and printed out the info. Interesting about the rest stage. This is the start of winter here and I have buds so I will let the plant dictate when it's going to rest.

Great outlines of what to do during stages. I just hope my light is going to be enough. The rest is going to be fine.

I'll post pics when it blooms.
Thanks, Karen
