Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). It is grown in partial shade in Florida and kept slightly moist at all times.
Comments: Parent plant: Ponera striata is a graceful, very slender, scented reedstem related to Epidendrums. It grows epiphytically in fairly dense forests throughout Central America to northern South America and blooms in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months. Generally, the current year's new growth will bloom terminally, and the following year that same stem will bloom from the old leaf axils. Plant was collected in Belize in 1999. Very undemanding. Medium-sized plant.

| 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: |
440 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/09/2003 through 05/20/2004)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 3 - 110 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/22/2004 through 02/02/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 60 - 110 mm (02/02/2005)

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, and Bolivia. This
extremely widely distributed epiphyte-lithophyte is found on trees and
rocks on both open hills and dense tropical forests at elevations up to
9850 ft. (3000 m). Most collections, however, seem to have been made at
3000-6000 ft. (910-1830 m). In Mexico, plants are known from the
east-coast states of Veracruz and Campeche. Further south, collections
have been reported near Matagalpa, Nicaragua at 2950 ft. (900 m), at
locations near Tegucigalpa, Honduras and Guatemala City, Guatemala, and in
El Salvador at 2600-3300 ft. (800-1000 m). In Belize, plants are found
throughout the country in a variety of forests at elevations up to 2300
ft. (700 m). In Costa Rica and Panama, plants are found in the mountains
above 2600 ft. (800 m). in Venezuela, plants have been found in the state
of Trujillo at 3300 ft. (1000 m), in Aragua near Colonia Tovar, and in the
state of Lara where plants were growing on a boulder at the edge of a
somewhat dry-looking forest at about 6000 ft. (1830 m) in the Páramo los
Ñepes near a roadside south of Barbacoas.
