New Leptotes bicolor
I got a new Leptotes bicolor. It has many growths and four of those growths have spikes and buds. One pseudobulb has two leaves.
Its potted in a plastic net basket pot with charcoal, sponge rock, and some kind of bark perhaps.
What culture does this species prefer?

Like Cattleyas. I bought several last year, and mounted them on bark with a bit of spaghnum moss to protect existing roots. In the greenhouse they took off with that treatment (watering once a week).

I just got my Leptotes bicolor too. It was a tiny thing in a 2 inch pot. I immediately repotted and put it under the dappled shade of a big oak with my species Catts. Thats been about 2 weeks and already I see 3 spikes forming on the near microscopic plant. I think precocious would be an understatement!

The buds finally opened. I tried to post yesterday but the site wouldn't let me. Its a little different from my expectations but still love it. The lip is half white and pink-purpleish. Kind of different from the ones I have seen from different people's collections.

Careful. These are fun plants. I just found out there are others in the same species and want them all. Harryphillipsii is my next one if I can ever find it.

They are really an adorable orchid. I'm quite pleased to have found one at our show. |

Andy's is probably the only commercial vendor who has them for now. Named after his brother.
End of highjack!
