Rhyncholaelia digbyana
Hi all! I might've spelled the name of this one wrong, so let me know LOL...Just thought I'd share this cool species orchid that opened last week - I got it in sheath, so I did not earn the blooms, but it sure took its sweet time opening them! I heard that they are slow growers, and I would have to agree!
Here are its culture details of how I grow it:
-south window, windowsill
-watering: 1x a week, light fert
-humidity: 60%
-fan 24/7 for air circulation
-media: 100% coarse bark (It likes to be on the dry side)
Enjoy!
~Becky

I have this and it is lovely. Does yours have the smell yet? Some say it stinks but I like mine, it has a soapy smell.
They like a lot of sun, I would let it dry a little more, they like a good drying between waterings

ooooooooo looking great there  -- what does it smell like?!!  Do you mind disclosing where you got this beauty, im on a digbyana hunt thanks
What I know bout digby is it doesnt like it roots wet for long, enough to get some water to drink, it needs high light to bloom- i know you'll do great with it  |

It looks great Becky! If I remember correctly, you got this one quite some time ago, right? I remember you asking for OW info on it.
