Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). It is deciduous and needs a definite rest once leaves are shed. Once growth starts, water well and it is a heavy feeder. Likes organics. Best grown as a terrestrial. Plants grown epiphytically seems smaller to me. Propagate from old stems cut into 3 inch lengths and inserted into humus or sphagnum. It puts out keikis easily this way and they will bloom a few years later. This is a cooler growing species than T. marshalliana and happier under 83°F in the summer. Mine grows happily at 75°F. A cool winter to send the plant to dormancy is needed. Pods mature at 10 months.
Comments: Parent plant: This terrestrial, sometimes lithophytic or epiphytic species comes from the highlands in Thailand, Burma, and India.Medium-sized plant.

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. |
