This is a cutie! Is this your first bloom on this one? How old is the plant?

[Jennyfleur]

Fantastic! I fell in love with these the first time I saw one!

[Jorge V.]

Thanks Jennyfleur

Kiki-do, I bought it 3 years ago, it bloomed first year, not de second one and now is the second bloom.

[taulmaril]

What medium do you use?

I bought it one month ago and I am a bit lost with this beautiful specie.

Thank you in advance.

Ciao.

taulmaril, aun no lo he trasplantado, lo que se ve es corteza mediana, si le he anadido dolomita. Estoy fuera de Espana de vacaciones, si quieres a la vuelta te cuento mas.
Saludos.

Good growing Jorge! Looks like a large flower just hanging over the edge of the pot.

I used to be scared to grow these, but now they do well for me in S/H.

Jorge, have a look at orchid.or.jp in section of culture of "how to grow bigger brachipetalum", by Dr Tanaka.
He says he don´t repot for years, I don´t know if it is correct, but....

Enhorabuena por la floración, buen cultivo.
Ciao.
