Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). After the usual winter rest, wait for the new growth to get 2 to 3 inches tall and then water like crazy with copious amounts of fertilizer, to achieve the largest possible pseudobulb. Avoid getting water into the new growth which will easily rot.
Comments: Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.
