Mauro, it is not an easy plant to cultivate. Especially when repotting, soft rot usually occurs.

Great blooms on that one! How large is the plant, I hear that they don't grow all that tall as the typical C. leopoldii?

I think an ideal medium for this species is a lithophytic mix (more rocks than other things). This reduces chance of rotting and gives more aeration to the roots. I also rarely water this species, along with C. bicolor and its relatives... perhaps this helps reduce cultural problems?
