Gongoras seem to be a bit neglected here. Easy to grow under intermediate to warm conditions. Many of them are winter growers. Do not overwater when the new growths emerge.

*sigh* I love these "little dragons in flight" -- one of my favorite genera. Unfortunately for me, they tend to get rather large for my space and the fact that the spikes are pendulous is a problem in my apt.

Like Paul, I love Gongoras and can't grow them because of their size. I miss my old plants!

Thank you for posting yours Euplusia! You're right about these guys being under represented here on OB and in collections as a whole.

What a great collection -thank you for sharing. I just have the more common galeata, but it grows well for me mounted in a greenhouse. I'd love to find one of those truncata or gracilis. Mini stanhopea.
