Stanhopea tigrina - Help Needed

[purpleplantman]

Tigrina is not fussy & grows well under cymbidium conditions. Re flowering, I moved a plant from my grandmothers, round 1/2km distance; didn't flower for 5 years, then bloomed every year after. Watch out for colletotrichium fungus on the leaves, this often hammers Stans & can be an ongoing problem if acquired.

Thank you purpleplantman! I originally kept my stans with my cyms, but got some sunburn on the leaves. I think it's a little bit too much for a Stanhopea. Currently they get direct sunlight till about 10:30 am. No fungus problems, but thanks for the advice!

I had approx. 40 stan species which grew in spag stuffed square wire baskets, no liners needed, no spike problems. The galvanised mesh was around 3 to4cm square. This is the best I have seen yet.bg
