I got this from Ecuagenera last spring, it came to me bareroot and it worried me that it dehydrated from travel from Ecuador to the US orchidshow the company is based and then mailed to me from their nearest post office location.
I put it overnight in a fertilizer soak and then repotted it on small sized coco chips with lava rock, charcoal and sponge rock. I water it every other day with weekly weakly fertilizer alternated with seaweed mix….this is located on the farthest end of the east facing window of the kitchen with intermediate to warm temps….it likes moisture from an oscillating fan from an electric 2 gallon humidifier.
This is endemic to South America from Guatemala all the way to Brazil in wet mountain forests.
