I've found the same cultural specifics as related below work well except I've
found unlike Stanhopea, Coryanthes spikes will run across the top of potting
media before heading down. Haven't lost any to that.

I had a Coryanthes macrantha that had been dormant for about a year after
subjecting it to poor conditions while doing a major reno. I finally decided to
repot and that's worked. I divided into 3 pots incase there were still problems
and all three are now showing growth.



I had the same thing happen with a couple of Stanhopeas. They had been
in the doldrums, so I repotted them, and they were off to the races.
