Hi Camille,
Some people say this genus should be treat like a catasetum, mine was in 3,5\5 L plastic pot with pieces of wood, tree fern powder, some leaves, some Scolopendra, and a lot a ants as media, but I notice some root rot problems at the end of 2nd blossom and I thought she will rest a bit, thats when I decided to transplant for a diferent pot, I used a clay pot and only moss as media, she seems to be happy
because she gave the 3th bloom just after the repoting, or she´s gonna bloom till death, some species do that
well lets see what happens.
She´s outdoors over a wall but a litle bit protected by a leader, right now almost every day its raining, but when not I spray some clean water, I fertilize maybe one time a month with some basic npk 10\10\10 solution. I think she s doing well without heavy fertilization beacause the place where she is its well ventilated and naturally humid, so she can get her own food.
