Galeandra batemanii
I was wondering if anyone had cultural advice for this spp. I have
killed a couple, I think by overwatering them when they were leafless. Mine have bloomed and are now losing their leaves. How dry should I let them get? They're small and potted in sphagnum. Thanks.

I was not aware they were deciduous, Jim. Until I gave it away, mine was in
S/H culture for nearly three years. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info! "James Aldridge" wrote in message ...

Ray,
I think they are, or at least they are under some circumstances. This from Countryside Orchids: Galeandra batemanii (I/W) Mexico to Costa Rica. This seasonally deciduous species bears flowers with yellow-brown sepals and petals with the lip purple toward the apex and white at the base.

Hi James, I have one & almost lost it by over watering it when dormant.
After blooming some of its leaves yellow, I move it to a special shelf for plants that just get a little misting. Mine is potted in a fine mix of everything. -- Cheers Wendy Remove PETERPAN for email reply James Aldridge wrote: I was wondering if anyone had cultural advice for this spp. I have killed a couple, I think by overwatering them when they were leafless.
