Pelatantheria ctenoglossa
Hi everyone:
I would like some input on what potting media is best for Pelatantheria ctenoglossa. I have had limited success growing this species in cork bark and am planning to transfer it to a pot or basket maybe. Thanks Dada. |

I have had limited success growing this species in cork bark and am planning to transfer it to a pot or basket maybe. I grow mine mounted on a piece of bark. During the late spring, summer, and early autumn months, it gets whatever the weather is outdoors...usually amounting to daily shots of moisture due to afternoon showers and morning dew. It gets bright light...nearly full sunlight, which tends to turn the leaves reddish, and warm temperatures. In winter, I bring it indoors and put it in a south-facing window (for folks in the southern hemisphere, this would need to be a north-facing window) and try my best to keep up with watering...it does look a little crinkled of leaf by the time it's set back outside in the spring, though...a few weeks outdoors and it's plump as ever. -- ---Prem Orchid art, photography, t-shirts, and related products: http://www.premdesign.com/orchidpics/ |
