Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F). Takes similar culture to a cold-growing Stanhopea. Copious moisture and high humidity are necessary for vigorous plants.
Comments: Parent plant: Plants get quite large, and are very showy in bloom. Flowers last longer than stanhopeas, and are presented in a very showy pendant inflorescence.

| 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: |
220 plants (based on flask surveys done 01/07/2004 through 08/31/2005)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 6 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/07/2004 through 02/21/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (02/21/2006)

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: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. These plants were
first in southwestern Ecuador and are now known to occur near Zaruma in
the Province of El Oro as well as in the Province of Loja. They grow in
seasonally dry cloud forest at about 4250 ft. (1300 m). In Peru, plants
have been found in the Department of Pasco growing high in the canopy in
cool, wet cloud forest at 6400 ft. (1950 m) a few miles south of
Villarica. In Venezuela, plants have been found near Caracas at 3050-5600
ft. (930-1700 m), at several locations in the State of Aragua, and near
Merida at 6250-6900 ft. (1900-2100 m). Details of the habitat in Colombia
have not been reported, but the plants are said to be found on the eastern
slopes of the Andes.
