Thanks for looking, Kim. Love the quote from Gilbert and Sullivan. Will have that tune running through my head all day now.

hi Ron,

fishmommy has this plant and she needs your help on its culture and care

Just gorgeous! Conratulations on the blooming!

I would love to hear how you keep it so I can make sure what I've read is correct (phal conditions pretty much)
I was planning to put mine in sphagnum in a cool pot under lights. Would that be appropriate?

I just bought one but its roots are dead so I have it on a heat mat sphag-n-bag.

Hi everyone,

I've been unable to get on OB for almost a week - needed to configure my router. Thanks for looking, Amphirion and Gloria.

Fishmommy, I grow mine cool with my Masdevallias and it does well and blooms every year there. I grow it in a net pot in live sphagnum and keep it quite damp. It gets a touch of fertilizer most waterings.

Thanks!!!!

You are most welcome.
