Orchid or Alien?? Psychopsis Kalihi

"Orchid or Alien?"

Alien?

Love it. I got my first Psychopsis (Mendenhall) this past Fall but really wanted this one. How are you growing this, Ethan?

Great growing!

Sandy, yeah...definitely alien!! It certianly wouldn't hurt to get another one, Sandy...you can have both!!!!

I just got mine from a vendor almost two weeks ago, Sandy and I haven't changed anything yet. Right now I have it in my greenhouse in bright indirect light. It's potted in a 3'' plastic pot with a pretty fine grade bark mix (no sphagnum). I'm letting it dry out completely before I water as I've heard they are very suseptable to root rot. The vendor told me to treat it as a cattleya, so I am (just not as much light).

Thanks for the tips, Ethan. Another one is in my future.
