Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Grows intermediate (60-83°F) and it likes a cool temperature drop at night in the winter.
Comments: I was in the greenhouse with a camera when a bee decided to pollinate one flower. (See picture.) I myself selfed a second flower taking the pollen from a third bloom.
Parent plant: Blooms frequently. Medium-sized plant.

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: Northeast India, Burma, Thailand, and southwest China.
Discovered first in the Khasi (Khasia) Hills of northeast India, plants
have since been found in the mountain regions of Burma and northern
Thailand. They usually grow high up in rough-barked trees that are not
exceedingly leafy so that the plants are fully exposed to the sun, rain,
and wind. The roots sprawl over the dry rough bark with no moss or lichen
present. Therefore, they are able to dry very rapidly after becoming wet.
Over most of the range they are found at 3000-5000 ft. (910-1520 m), but
in Thailand cultivated plants reportedly grow well under natural
conditions in Chiang Mai which is at 1100 ft. (340 m).
