Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: Parent plant: Though my plant is but 6 inches tall, kotschyana, when well-grown can reach 10-12 inches across. It prefers warm conditions but will grow as intermediate. Really just hunkers down when night temps are below 65-70°F. Good humidity is essential. A plant with a dozen flowers on each of 4 inflorescences will knock your socks off if you can do it. The eventide fragrance is intoxicating if the above description dosen't convince you that this is special. Medium-sized plant.
