From what I understand, this is in the Vanda alliance? I was attracted to it because of its unusual presentation. The flowers are said to be dark red maroon and fragrant. Any one grow this plant?

The Trichoglottis brachiata was a summer project plant a couple of years ago. You might try looking at the thread, I think the projects are stickies.
I haven't visited it for a long while......I still can't get the poopy thing to bloom! LOL

Hey there! Yeah, I was part of that project. It bloomed the first year primarily due to the grower having it before me, I assume. Hehehe... Haven't gotten it to rebloom since, but it grows like crazy!

Mine is mounted and watered daily once warmer weather returns. This year, I am treating it more like a Vanda by putting it in higher light and giving more fertilizer. Someone mentioned somewhere that they had this in their greenhouse up among all the Vandas and had completely forgotten about it until they were on a ladder and saw it in bloom. My assumption is that they gave it far higher light than I was doing previously and probably got watered and fertilized right along with the Vandas.

I'm going to be going back to that project sticky again myself to search for some answers.

That's funny about growing like a vanda. I wish I would have read that a couple of years sooner
This year I was so ticked at it, I stuck it out on a tree (it's mounted) and the silly bugger threw a keiki! So, I guess this is a neglect in really bright light plant!

Zoi2, of course many factors go into that which I am making assumptions about, but I remember the commentary because it was so funny! Can't say my collection is large enough that I forget about any of them, but could easily forgetting about some in see a tightly filled greenhouse, lol...

This is a good conversation. I really appreciate the comments about how to grow this plant. I can't wait to have it in my environment! This will be my "second" Vanda plant, my other Vanda is a Vanda corrulea. I also have numerous other Vanda alliance plants: Neofinetia falcata. Neos are pretty easy. So I'm hoping this one is somewhere in between easy Neofinetia and <for me> difficult Vanda corrulea.

Matt, I have about 7 Vandas, mostly bought cheaply just to see if I could manage to keep them alive and maybe even bloom them. Out of those the one you mentioned is consistently the one giving me symptoms and issues I just can't put my finger on. Just last week, my first Vanda actually bloomed!!!! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my perception of increased light and fertilizer might overtime be the key. We'll see. Wish you best of luck! Keep us updated!
