Hi Kseniya.

After your small plant has made 1 flower which even watered it's epichile and produced scent,
I suggest that you spray water laced with fertilizer 30-10-10 onto the compost - spray daily that is,
and start now.

You might also wish to look-up on this board a previous thread titled 'Understanding Coryanthes' ...

Happy growing.

Well, my quest is looking to have a happy ending. I had googled and googled till mu fingers ached, but no where did I find a supplier in Europe. It has to be in Europe, or the plant will never survive the customs procedures here.

Then out of the blue, I got a pm on here from a very bright guy called Yéri who runs an orchid business. He had seen my post on this thread and saw a sales opportunity, and I was very grateful that he thought
to pm me.

So, when he gets them in, I shall be buying two off him.

Happy days!
