Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F). A nice species, I grow this one in an almost terrestrial mix. Another new world species that enjoys a rest period when not in active growth. I don't withold water all together, just reduce it to about once a month.

You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador. In Mexico, these
plants are found in the States of Chiapas and Veracruz where they grow
mostly as terrestrials or lithophytes in humid mixed forests at 5900-9200
ft. (1800-2800 m) but are also sometimes found growing epiphytically. In
Guatemala, plants growing as epiphytes, terrestrials, and lithophytes have
been collected in humid forests from numerous locations at elevations up
to 10,500 ft. (3200 m). In El Salvador, plants have been found growing as
terrestrials at 5250-5900 ft. (l600-1800 m).
