Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: I grow this plant in a very bright greenhouse with temperatures ranging from 50-95°F. The low is the minimum night temperature during the winter, and the high is the maximum day temperature during the summer. This is an easy to grow species if it has enough humidity. This genus can get spider mites in a low humidity environment.
Comments: The plants flowered while quite small--this plant is in a 6" pot and had 2 spikes with 2 flowers each. The flowers were pure white and stayed fresh for over a week even after pollination.

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
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. |
| Yield Estimate: |
510 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/27/2003 through 08/13/2003)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 10 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/13/2003 through 10/20/2003)
From one most recently surveyed flask 75 - 80 mm (10/20/2003)
