Restepia brachypus
Hi all,
I have had this one in my terrarium since 2014. I can't believe it, I thought it was less time. It had not bloomed in some time, but last week I added some fertilizer that is especially made by the Bovees Nursery. That stuff is amazing!
Here is Restrepia brachypus

I'm telling you it works!!! It's not my only current bloom in the tank, I don't know if you saw my Dendrobium blooms I posted in the Dendrobium section. I just pour enough to dust my hand with the stuff and then blow it into the tank like sleeping powder from those old spy or super hero films. I get some kind of flowers within a month's time.
I came across the stuff because I purchased Vireya Rhododendrons from them. When you do so, they send you a ziplock baggy of it. I loved it so much that I purchased two 5lb bags from them.

Googled Bovees Nursery and got educated big time.Just recognized a few plant names but the variety seems impressive.
