Promenaea riograndensis Rare Species?

How to grow one of these?
What are their requirements? Other than cool at night which I can do because I like to sleep on a polar ice cap to sleep comfortably

Thanks my eyes were bigger than actual knowledge...

Where does one of these actually go in the forums?

[TOMMYMIAMI]

Sorry, no clue

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Goes under Maxillaria.

Bright shade.

Intermediate.

Moderate to high humidity.

Moderate to good air circulation.

Consistent moisture. Do not grow sopping wet. Do not allow it to get bone dry.

It is an epiphyte.

It's a mini. No larger than 3" - 4" tall.

For intermediate level orchid growers.

Dumb ? Epiphyte? Meaning aerial roots?

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Epi = surface, on top of

phyte = plant

Epiphyte --> plant that grows on the surface of trees.

Epiphytes do have air roots.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Got any questions ask.

[kindrag23]

Will do they are supposed to be in next week.

Only things missing:
- don't mess with the temperatures, they like their intermediate temps and day/night variations. Nothing out of bound but they like it that way.
- always water from the bottom, any water up there will rot new shoots or make dark spots on leaves.

And enjoy, Promenaea are cute as hell
