Sorry OrchidLover, I don't have any Sobralia seed now, but If I get some I'll let you know! |

Mauro, I happen to spot several sobralias in a local nursery yesterday.
The keeper said that it's difficult to transplant these orchids, because they dislike root disturbance. So the plants here seem not repotted for a long time.
Is it really difficult to repot them? And if it is, any tip to solve it?

Never had heard about that, Pheli. I repotted mine two times since I acquired it as a seedling and it has been doing well so far. Other growers I know never said anything like this. |

If you need anything else, please just let me know.

Thanks Mauro...sounds like one I can handle here!

Wow, I like this one. I can see where it gets its name from.
Sobralia sessilis
