This is another plant I got two years ago from a group order placed by members of this form. It grew well the first year and bloomed for the first time this year. It opened yesterday for the first time and today is its second day. It only opens for a few hours in the mid-day. I'm hoping that the rest of the buds open too and create a display like I see when it is photographed in the wild. I grow it is 100% seramis; give it full sun with a 100 W LED light 3 feet away from the fixture; temps are about 75F day time and 60 F at night in the winter when growing and 80F plus in the summer; I keep it moist in the winter (fertilizing with 125-150 ppm of a urea-free fertilizer weekly when growing) and hot and dry in the summer. I keep it indoors year-round.
