Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Supposedly hardy to USDA zone 6. I raise mine indoors with 3-4 months refrigeration during dormancy. Does extremely well in a very loose terrestrial mix. I keep mine well-watered during growing season, and then dry and cold during dormancy.
Comments: Parent plant: A small plant with a bloom spike often as large as the entire plant.
