Unfortunately I do not have the species but do have the hybrid Cym Little Black Sambo - which I believe grows almost like the canaliculatum species. It grows ok for me in Florida - after I learned how. It almost expired before the right gem of wisdom came my way. The plant must be kept dry "Bone dry" in the wintertime. I understand that the natural habitat is actually quite damp in the summertime but is very dry in the winter. The plant makes out quite well in the Florida summer but goes in with the Catasetums in the fall - around November then does not come out until new growth appears in the spring.
My next challenge is a suave hybrid - wonder what gem of knowledge will apply to that one.
