Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Trichopilias are very fussy about having new growths being damp too long or overnight. They do, however, like to be kept moist, so keeping the medium from touching the new growths, very good air movement, and/or watering early in the morning to allow the growths to fully dry is necessary. I recently changed my trichopilia potting mix to coconut husk chips with perlite added, and the new growths are staying drier, and the plants are much happier!
Comments: Parent plant: Small 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. |

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Central America, western Panama. This orchid grows
in wet cloudforests or wet tropical forests throughout its range. In
Belize, plants grow in wet, broad-leaved forests at about 2450 ft. (750 m)
in the Toledo District, but they are rather rare. In Mexico, plants are
found in the southern State of Chiapas at 2950–5900 ft. (900–1800 m). In
Guatemala, plants grow at 4900 ft. (1500 m) or less, in the Department of
Alta Verapaz near Cobán, in the Department of Guatemala near Guatemala
City, and on the lower, southeast-facing slopes of Volcán Santa María in
the Department of Quezaltenango as well as other places. In El Salvador,
plants are found near San Vincente at 3950–4900 ft. (1200–1500 m). In
Honduras, plants grow in the Department of Comayagua at 3950 ft. (1200 m).
In Nicaragua, plants were collected in the Department of Jinotega at
3950–4350 ft. (1200–1330 m). In Costa Rica, plants grow in the mountains
but no additional information was provided. In western Panama, in Chiriquí
Province plants are found at 3300–4250 ft. (1000–1300 m).
