    Nice pics. You really got the white to pop without it overexposing. I always have felt that this plant should be mounted for aesthetics. Too many of them you see are potted.

    I grow it in my large orchid cabinet year around. About 60-85% RH and temperature around 18-25 winter and 20-30 summer (night-day). It is mounted on Epiweb and get water every second or third day. No significant restperiod.

    Thank you, obviously he will be most suitable for my showcase . In the greenhouse got colder in winter . But as I try to cork mat , I'm not too trusting to Epiweb . The plant will not come off down ever again.

    Eva, I grow and bloom it at 10C winter minimum. I think the plant needs good, high humidity to grow well and keep the nice plump leaves.

    then it is clear , as in a greenhouse . Humidity there is around 70 % and the temperature in winter holds above 10 C. Thanks for the advice
