Growing Porpax.
I remembered someone on this forum had asked a question about how to grow Porpax meirax.
Now I don't know if the person still has it or not, but I've finally figured this plant out enough to know how to grow it properly.
A little background first...
I currently own Porpax ustulata and Porpax sp. Vietnam (which I beleive is Porpax elwesii). The first Porpax I've ever owned was Porpax fibuliformis. Needless to say, because of the very little info there is on Porpax I offed all the Porpax fibuliformis I've ever attempted. The next species attempted was Porpax sp. Vietnam (Porpax elwesii). I had purchased two colonies only to have one colony barely survive to this day. Of course the most recent Porpax species is Porpax ustulata, the one that would answer all the basic growing questions I've had about this group of unusual miniature orchids.
