Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: I grow it in regular compost from my compost pile and periodically treat it with guano and also feed weekly,
weakly with regular Peters 1:1:1. I grow it warm and somewhat shaded.
Comments: Parent plant: Plant seems to be an easy grower producing specimen-sized plants in about three to four years. In a 7 inch pot it produced 4 growths with a leaf spread of 20 inches. Leaves are variegated with some striping and spotting. Flower spikes up to 27" high.

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: Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico in the West Indies, Mexico
south through Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador,
and Peru, with reports of its occurrence in Paraguay. This is a
wide-ranging member of the Spiranthes complex. In Mexico, plants are found
in the States of Chiapas, Puebla, and Veracruz in humid forests below 1000
ft. (3000 m). They usually grow on tree trunks, in tree crotches, and in
holes in trees, but they are said to grow on rocks and the surface of the
ground in thickets and open grasslands. In Guatemala, plants are found in
the Department of Chimaltenango above Teepam and in the region of Los
Positos; in the Department of El Progreso in the Sierra de las Minas, the
hills north of Finca Piamonte, and between Finca Piamonte and the summit
of Volcán Santa Luisa; in the Department of Guatemala near Guatemala City;
and in the Department of Zacapa on the trail between Santa Rosalíade
Mármol and Vegas. In Nicaragua, plants are found in the Departments of
Jinotega, Matagalpa, Esteli, and Rivas at 3300-5250 ft. (1000-1600 m) and
near the Río San Juan at 1300-1950 ft. (400-600 m). In Panama, plants are
found in Chiriquí Province in the central valley of Río Chiriquí Viejo at
5900-6550 ft. (1800-2000 m). In Venezuela, plants grow near Caracas as and
in the States of Aragu, Mérida, Miranda, Tachira, and Zulia at 3750-6050
ft. (1150-1850 m). In Colombia, plants are found at 5900-8200 ft.
(1800-2500 m). In Ecuador, plants occur in the Provinces of Azuay, Loja,
and Napo at 3600-7200 ft. (1100-2200 m), with one collection reported in
Pichincha Province at 11,000 ft. (3356 m). In Peru, a collection is
reported from the Department of Huánuco. In Cuba, plants grow in the
Provinces of Matanzas and Oriente and near Santa Clara, but no specific
details were reported. In Jamaica, plants are found in the regions around
Worthy Park, St. Ann, Portland, St. Thomas, Banana Ground, and Hollymount.
Although reported to occur in Puerto Rico, Ackerman (1995) stated that all
collections attributed to this species that he has seen were actually
Stenorrhynchos lanceolatum (Aublet) Richard ex Sprengel.
