Very nice flowers. Looks like your plant is mounted or basketed. That's how we grow them also. The soft light colored hair covering the pbulbs and the slightly droopy leaves make a very attractive hanging plant.

I guess you don't have to worry about excess water. For us, too much water sometimes caused pitting in the pbulbs. Doesn't happen now when plants are basketed, but the pbulbs do go in all directions (another good reason for a hanging basket).

Beautiful.
I like the colors and the texture.

Awesome! Ive got a seedling of this species and am curious how you are growing yours (ie. light, water, media, etc.) Also, how big are your p-bulbs on this one? Thanks!

Temperature--intermediate--@55-85F
Light--medium light--2000FC
water--moist but not wet
media--CHC mix in plastic pot

pbulb size--3" tall for mine but I have seen slightly bigger one.

Nice growing. I have a plant that I nearly lost--probably from overwatering. Is it common for this plant to have black spots on the leaves? I fungicide regularly but the spots appear. Maybe I have a bad plant.

Mine got few black spots over the years. That happens especially when the plant doesn't get dry before sunset.
