No replies...maybe this one's not a common one in collections...
It seems it's scarse in the wild and it's now starting to show for sale. It's considered difficult and this is why I decided to try it.
Anyway, I decided to buy one...The infos I got about its care are contradicting each other...some say it's warm grower, others it's cool...some say it needs plenty of light, others say it needs some shade....
Even Orchidwiz doesn't say much...
Its habitat is more or less the same as others bazilian rupiculous so I guess the main difference is habitat elevation.
Here's some photos of the habitat (called
campos rupestres, a sub-bioma of the
Cerrado, which is like a savanna).
Here's a collection of photos of the plant...in general it seems to be in good condition, in spite one deformed leaf. The vendor told me it was reppoted last year so it's there for sale for, at least, one year.
The best medium is the one used in general for rupiculous: stones + moss. This one seems to have orchiata with a top layer of rocks. Not the best...but I'll keep it to see what happens.
Anyone growing Cattleya vasconcelosiana?
