This is gorgeous and it just went on my wish list!! How do you care for it?

Gorgeous:-)

it is one of my favourite orchids.
it grows very fast.
my conditions are intermediate to warm. during summer day temperature is 27-28 C but could go to 35C on very hot days, night temp is arround 20C. winter temp is 22-23C, with min night temp 15-16C. RH is 70-80%.
regulary feritlising usualy once per week, with 80-120 ppm MSU formula. when bulbes matured I change fertiliser to higher P-K values.

Nice!!! :)

I still can't believe I didn't pick up one I saw at TJ a few months ago. It was a big specimen with lots of spike with spotless leaves at only you know, TJ price. haven't seen any since.

Really exciting with a nice combination of colours and dots. Did you apply an fungizide? There are white residues on the leaves.

Lovely!

yes, that is from fungicide.

It's beautiful! I have one but it doesn't bloom that often so far!

Beautiful!! I also really like the pot!!
