Trichopilia tortilis

[PuiPuiMolcar]

My first ever blooming Trichopilia species! It's so twisty, I love it. I'm just happy that I two my trichopilia are doing well. It gives me the confident to give T.Suavis a try.

I just got a suavis. What's your care for this tortilis? Potting media, watering, light

I don't have suavis yet but I reckon it's similar to the T. Fragans albeit finickier.

Tortilis I kept it pretty hot the during the warming month it doesn't care but humidity help. Indoor during cooler months although I think it is not necessary because it survived first year outdoor just fine.
Fragans I keep cooler in the shade yard.

Both are in 70% moss 30% barks, and a one hand full of perlite/pumice mixed it.

Tortilis can take bright light, Fragan like be cool so it get Phal light unless it winter.

Watering, pretty moist rarely dry out even during winter.

Hense I live in a pretty dry and warm climate.
