Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Mormodes are intermediate- to warm-growing plants. Since they are deciduous they require a rest. During the rest period, provide some humidity and misting because if left too dry the bulbs will shrivel; if provided too much moisture, rot will occur.
 
Comments: Parent plant: One of the offspring from our TN3827 effort of 2003.
