You have my email, so either email me or message me here when the weather gets more favorable.

Can you look this one up on the orchid wiki?
I am pretty sure this one prefers cool temp. I got this in the fall with buds, so I'm not sure how these will do in the summer here in my cooking hot apartment. lol

Intergenercis that like cool temperature tends to get stressed by heat and their pb wrinkle up in no time.
This one came with nice fat pbs when first bought, but within two weeks (September was still fairly hot here) of purchase, their pbs wrinkled up so much that I thought they were going to die.
Well, somehow they are still fine. just very wrinkled up. not a single leaf lost yet. The roots look all dry, but I haven't checked the inside of pot yet.
Pretty tough plants so far.

I plan to repot once the blooms are all gone.

I will send you one in the current pot though. You can decide how you want to repot this plant.

Another thing I have found is that these do fine with lower light.
I would occasionally place these near (not too close, maybe three or four feet away) my south windows, but mostly been sitting in the middle of the room, which doesn't get much light at all, but barely bright. a little bit of afternoon sun (maybe like half an hour). yet, these rebloomed off old spikes.

No signs of growing new growths at all yet. It could be one of those that take forever before initiating new growths. My Odontocidium Sunlight NN was that way.
