Stanhopea xytriophora, Gongora sp, and Coryanthes macrantha
I'm an intern at this amazing place called Meadowview Biological Research Station. Recently we had the three orchids mentioned in the title donated to the greenhouse. They have mostly rotted, but they're wanting to grow and new leaves are coming out of new side shoots. I'm going to repot them tomorrow in their slatted plastic pots. They've been moved to a much drier location in the greenhouse.
The watering system in the greenhouse is meant for Nepenthes, so it turns on once every day. Considering this, should they be slab mounted? Are there any other tips for growing this odd, but fascinating plants?
