Pescatorias

[Narcis.Poe]

Hello. I have some problems with my pescatorias. I have 3 now and they are really ugly (black dots on leaves or no leaves) I think it' s because of too less air. is it possible?
and could someone tell me the minimum temperature of these orchids?
thank you

They love fresh moving air and an humid atmosphere year round. Minimum temperature is something around 14°C, at daytime up to 25°C. Some of them are prone to leaf infection by fungus.

I can agree on most of what "euplusia" had said.

They can handle humidity of at least 70%. This genus tends to be more tolerant of less than perfect humidity. They prefer to be in the 80's%.

Bright shade to moderate indirect light.

These don't like it too warm or too cool. They grow best in temperatures of 60 F - 85 F.

Moderate air circulation is good.

They like quite a bit of moisture around the roots, but should not be grown soggy. You can grow these in either moss or coconut husk chips. If you use moss, be careful with your watering. I believe I've also had some success with diatomite mixed with some coconut coir.

Not difficult to bloom at all.

Very showy flowers.

They can grow back from having only one good fan and a decent root system.

Good luck.
