Rhyncostylis gigantea white
First time flowering for me. Beautiful scent. Easy to grow, definitely a keeper!

Really nice, I'm not familiar with that one. What are the "easy" growing requirements. Looks like it could get quite large over time.

Southwest window water/spritz roots a couple of times a week. It is potted (only because I don't want to have to water daily), but jumping out of the pot. Fertilized a couple of times a month. I think they do get really large, however have never seen a big white one in person. Large reds, but not large whites.

Ok, well, the kids should be gone by then so a bit more room  . Thanks for the info Bud, guess I'd better not be getting too many more of these considering that I also have a red and an orange Rhy....

Brenda, What potting material did you use for this plant, I think I see some sphagnum?
