Pretty cute air!
|
That is so cute, well done!!! I've tried this orchid several times, and it usually ends up smelling like rot...
|
Very nice!
Mine doesn't seem to have a fragrance, either. The Schoenorchis scolopendria that I have, however, has a strong one. Maybe someone got them mixed up while naming them. |
Such beautiful colours. I heard that some orchid flowers - eg. some dendrobium - produce scent fragrance when temperatures get above a certain level during the day. I wonder if it will be the case for this particular kind too.
|
Absolutely precious!
Interesting that you water it daily. I guess it dries out pretty fast on that rock. Any idea of the humidity around it? I've been eyeing this beauty, but the other things I want to keep like to be a bit wetter than this one. |
I kept mine in the terrarium for a while and it did fine. I hung them at the top near the opening so they had a little extra air-flow.

Are you sure this is not a Schoenorchis tixieri? Some say that they are the same? But tixieri I believe blooms earlier (spring time) than fragrans (summer time) and tixieri has no fragrance.
Looks like it likes a squirt a day |
