Is Howeara Onc. Fly? Need potting info

If this is the plant you are asking about. It's quite hard to kill and it just exists to flower. An excellent (if small flowered non-fragrant) first time orchid.
It seems to adapt well whether grown moist or as dry as a cactus (from my experience), it can take a fairly wide range of temperatures, and while it's reported to flower twice a year, it basically can flower almost perpetually, since it typically (for me) sends up a spike, then just before the first is winding down, it sends up another, and if you're lucky a third spike. Then it might possibly rest a bit and grow a new lead, then start throwing spikes again.

I heartily recommend it..the only thing you could do to kill it is probably water it too much.
