Hi Gin - oooh, how cute is your plant! Even without flowers, this plant is very appealing, sort of a chubby rascal.
Mine is mounted on a chunk of grapewood. Do you water all year 'round, or does it like a dormant time?
Bright dappled light? As opposed to full sun? I have roasted many orchids, but am trying to get a better grip!
Thanks - Nancy

Wow, nice flaring on that bloom. Never seen a Trias before.

Hi , dappled or it will burn , the green house goes to 60 at night up to 85-86 in the summer , mine is on the west side of the green house on a top shelf but it gets shade from trees in the back yard , right now the trees are bare but there is plastic over the glass . Mine is in a pot but if mounted it will need more watering if warm/hot daily or at least every other day .. Mine does not go dormant it blooms off and on almost all year . Gin
