Paradisanthus micranthus x Zyg. crinitum culture tips?
 
Does anyone have information/tips for the culture of Paradisanthus micranthus x Zygopetalum crinitum? I guess I could give just regulare Zygopetalum conditions but I wonder if anyone have had any experience with it. Thanks in advance.

I'm sure there aren't many who have grown this cross. It isn't registered, though one similar cross is registered, Zygodisanthus Oleksandra (Paradisanthus micranthus x Zygopetalum maxillare). It appears the Paradisanthus should tolerate more heat and prefer less light than the Zygo, and probably doesn't have a dormant period since it can flower almost any time of the year. General Zygo care ought to be fine, with those points in mind. Good luck. We'll be expecting a picture when it flowers.

Thank you so much, I have surf the net but indeed could not find anything with that cross. I would also expect it to be a little bit more heat tolerant having the Paradisanthus in it. Let's see how it goes. I hope to post some nice flower pictures soon!

Also I would think Belgium is not considered hot from the perspective of a Zygopetalum hybrid.
