Sophronitis coccinea in S/H?
 

Has anyone tried Soph. coccinea in S/H?

I saw a display of these at Longwood Gardens yesterday and is it now at the top of my must have list.

Culture seems pretty straight forward for in-house under lights or window sill growing.

Any other tips/tricks anyone might know?

Cheers.
Jim

I am hoping someone has grown this in s/h, I'd like to know too.

S. coccinea is a bit too much of a cool grower for my conditions, but based upon an entry in orchidspecies.com, it sounds like a good match:

"Good ventilation, cool to cold temperatures, bright light and a wet environment with regular fertilizer year round will keep this minature [sic] plant thriving."

I saw that one to in the edwardian case. Im on the search for it as well. If you find some post it or pm me Please!

Weren't they fabulous plants??!! I asked the vendor who put the case together and she had already sold all three in there.

Definately fabulous orchids! The Masdie next to them were pretty cool too.

Exasperatus;

Glenn Lehr at New World Orchids has these plants for sale. I scored a plant from his Tokyo Grand Priz display; S. coccinea 4N Toshi.

If you decide to order one, tell him Jim with the Endodontic connection referred you.

Thank you!! I really appreciate that.

Curious if anybody tried the S/H on this plant

I managed to get a flask of them from equagenera and deflasked them. I lost half of them trying them potted but when I mounted them, I am doing well with them so far.
