Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). This plant likes bright indirect light. I have it in a southern window with some direct sun in the winter months. This plant had 5 flowers on one spike & 4 on another. It likes to stay moist with somewhat of a drying period between waterings. I have it potted in sphagnum moss.
 
Comments: Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

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: 154 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/09/2009 through 02/18/2010)
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 3 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/09/2009 through 09/07/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 40 mm (09/07/2010)
