Wow!!! What a difference in growth over the past month and a half! Thought I was going to lose this one with the summer heat and now look at it! It currently resides in a Maui Orchidarium. The temps run in the mid 70's in the day and drop down to the low 60's at night. Humidity hovers around 80% and often goes as high as 94% after watering. Good air movement with the fan and it recieves about 1200 - 1500 ft a day. Now I cant wait for it to bloom again! Should be quite a show when it does!

Looking really good, the leaf growth is amazing and shows exactly how they should look.

Well done!

I Agree, it looks really really nice!! How often do you feed, and what do you feed it, cause it looks like it drinks up all its nutritious soup like any good growing 'chid should.

Here is what the blooms looked like last time. I believe it is the clone 'Rip-hoff'.
