I have mine growing in semi-hydro culture, so it gets water and fertilizer
year round. Temperatures range from lows of mid-50's in the winter, with max around 70°-75°, to overall about 10°-15° warmer in the summer. Heavy shade. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info! wrote in message ...

Also either spray with Physan or other fungicide/bactericide regularly or
make sure ther is NO water in the leaves after watering. This probably also goes for Chondrorhyncha, Cochleanthes, and Bollea. Otherwise, they're easy and pretty. Gary "Ray" wrote in message ...

I meant to also say, while Ray has his in SH, I find they also grow well in
a seedling mix, paph mix, spaghnum (up to 6" pot), or just about anything that will retain water and not dry out fast. Gary "Ray" wrote in message ...
