    I picked up some tubers of this species at POE. Can anyone provide me with culture advice, please? Thanks.

    The cultivation of this orchid is relatively simple:

    I grow in peat with the sphagnum moss alive, like a carnivorous plant, surrounded by rain water or distilled, outside all year even if the water freezes.

    I made a basket and put peat with perlite and I sealed the drain holes with a plastic putty, you can use the siliconetic

    I just planted mine this weekend. I keep mine in the refrig for 4 months and then pot in well draining soil. Feed once a week and they like sun. It works for me...good luck!
