Default Small sized Encyclia pauciflora

This Encyclia species is native to the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais. It is a very small grower, the adult plant barely reaching 7" high, with relatively large flowers compared to the plant size. The flowers are 1.6" across; the large lip alone is 0.6" wide (it is wider, 0.6", than longer, 0.48"). Also, the flowers are very (but really, really very) sweet perfumed all day long!

It looks like another one for the wish list, and being a miniture too?
Always room for that one.
Really fine growing Mauro

I grow it under the same conditions I grow my hybrid Cattleyas, Neverend. The medium is coconut fiber mixed with charcoal in small nuggets (20%).

How much light and watering do you give? I'm getting interested to grow more cattleya alliance orchids.
