    IC grower. Didn't like the plant photo, so it was discarded.

    Nice. Ecuagenera had them at our last show. I was doubt to buy prior gathering cultural needs. Any advises? Thanks.

    "Any advises?"

    Yeah. If you get one from Ecuagenera, remove it from that giant ball of tightly wrapped sphagnum moss they have around the roots and rhizome. My plant suffered a bit because water wasn't able to soak through that much sphagnum to the roots. You're welcome.

    Lovely!! How bright do you keep it, and how wet? I have one (from Ecuagenera - but I grow it mounted bare root), it has not done ANYTHING (good or bad) in a year.... I just moved it to a much brighter location hoping for a reaction.

    Bright shade as for most small-statured pleurothallids. Daily water and almost daily fertilizer. My plant has initiated 5 new growths since I remounted it on tree fern 6 weeks ago.

    Thanks for the advise Dale. I did buy mine from Ecuagenera in February. I'm not fond of the way they have it mounted, although the plant is not complaining. It takes a long time for it to dry out, that's for sure.

    I use Greencare Orchid RO Water Special 13-3-15. I inject .65g of fertilizer into every gallon of my 35ppm pond water for TDS of c. 165ppm.
