Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Pollen parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). It grows in the house, in light shade or filtered light, in a typical bark mix that is not allowed to dry out.
Comments: Pod parent plant: Medium-sized plant.
Pollen parent plant: The whole plant is c. 12"-14" tall. Blooms are striking and have a faint scent but nothing really noticable. This seems to be a very easy plant to grow and bloom, in my experience. Medium-sized plant.
