I know this is an older thread and I'm that much older...but I no longer see a picture 
I just ordered a compot of Polystachya foliosa from Troy Meyers and was hoping to check this one out again  |

Mauro,
How do you grow this one? What kind of media is it growing in?

This specific clone used to be a difficult guy, Royal! I used to grow it in tree fern fiber and it had a tendency to get dehydrated. Then two years ago I moved it to sphagnum moss (mixed with white Styrofoam peanuts) and I guess I solved the problem. |

Amazing pics. We have some very similar to those growing in the everglades I have to check the name. If you are not looking for them you would walk right by them, but upon close inspection they are awesome.
