This is one of my favorite orchids, and after having killed 3 of these (all mounted) I decided to give it one last go, and managed to find a potted plant. To my surprise, it was potted in sphag, and to my even greater surprise, it really really likes sphag! The plant has more than tripled in size in the 2 years I've had it, and is a root producing machine. It has completely outgrown the sphag and the lower half of the pot is just bare roots, and is slowly pushing the entire plant out of the pot.
The fragrance is really nice, but can only be detected before sunrise. ('Luckily' I get up at 6am so go have a sniff before breakfast).
