Barkeria melanocaulon--Flower is small but very long lasting

Hi Tom,
That's really a cool looking bloom...and an excellent photo I might add. :D

What are the requirements for this species? Is it a terrestrial or an epiphyte? Thanks, David

By the way. thanks for sharing it with us. :Tup:

David, it is an epiphyte. I grow it under intermediate temperature and verybright light. My plant is mounted on stick without any moss on the roots. It gets water daily when it is growing but significantly less water in the winter if it is not in bloom.
