Sharing Brassavola Cucullata

[Will-13]

Species Brassavola are one of my favorites. They love to be grown on wood, therefore impossible to over water, they're prolific bloomers and they are beautifully fragrant.

Wanted to share Brassavola Cucullata with everyone.

Sooo lovely and,for me, the prettiest of the group. Forever I've been told how easy it is to grow but I can't get the hang of it. Your culture,please. Thanks.

Hi DeaC,

My growing conditions are firstly very warm, with days are in the 90's and low's around 75. My collection hang from mock tress on the balcony of my 7th floor apartment facing due east. They receive direct and direct filtered sun for about 5 hours a day. I water twice per day and feed with a balanced fertilizer, which hangs above the plant in small (nickel size) stitched bags dropping minute amounts each watering.

Will...thanks for the growing advice. I will try again if I can find a cucullata,preferably David Sander.

I love them too for the look of the leaves, the white flowers and delicate fragrance.
