Cultural conditions for Phragmipedium humboldtii

[Ray]

There are a few phrags that prefer it cooler, besseae and definitely kovachii, for example, but for the most part, they seem fine with moderate temperatures.

I grow mine in semi-hydroponics, summering outdoors here in NC, right alongside paphs and phals.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the information. Knowing that you grow them along-side the phals is a good reference point for me.

I watched an ecuagenera video on the besseae, and If I remember correctly, that was the species that grew at the bottom of limestone cliffs, collecting the dripping cool water. I think that is the species that ecuagenera uses in their logo graphic.

Best,
Joseph
