Zygopetalum triste

[lotis146]

Did you ever snap some pics of this when it bloomed? And how are the rest doing?

Also I see you said they like cool temps. Do they like the rather bright light that a lot of Zygos do? Got one at a recent show.

unfortunately the stem rotted...........none of the others spiked.
They do prefer it cooler and I don't have the space in my basement ! I have a couple in a south-facing shaded window that are doing well, so I would say that brighter light is not an issue.
Hope yours does well.
BTW - there is a show this weekend at Chicago Botanic Gardens - you should come.
