What alliance is this from?
So I've heard that this orchid has been renamed a few times and I don't know what to call it or what alliance it's from but it's making it hard to find care instructions for it. It is labeled as Sigmatostalix radicans but I have found 3 names for it:
Sigmatostalix radicans
Ornithophora radicans
Gomesa radicans
So my questions are; Is that the same plant?
What alliance is it from?
And most importantly how do I grow it?
It's currently growing like a weed with 12 new pseudobulbs growing off what used to be a fairly small plant. Each of the old pseudobulb has sent out 2-3 new pseudobulbs so it's over doubling in size from when I got it at the end of November. It's getting 12 hours of light at about 3000 fc (not exactly sure cause I'm using a light meter app on my phone but that is the average reading I'm getting for it). I'm growing it in a small terrarium with lots of humidity and although its potted in moss most of the new roots are just growing in air and have not grown long enough to touch the medium yet. So how should I care for this little gem and how can I make her bloom when her new growths begin to mature? Any info would be appreciated
