Wow! This is a very nicely grown Isabelia, congrats!

One of my favorites! What are your growing conditions? I have had mine over a year now, and got it to bloom once, but I feel that I have to fine tune my culture. Any tips you can give me are very much appreciated.

Gorgeous specimen, Luis! I too would love to read your culture advice, my plant grows fine but I want it to look like yours someday.

Well, I maintain this one above my little lake inside my orchid place for the humidity conditions and I use 50% shading there. This was the first time that it bloom, finally! I will put some pictures of my place tomorrow...

Thanks Luis! How cold does it get in the winter, and how dry?

[Luis Renato]

Here we are living a weather change through the years. When I was a child, the winter was very rainy and cold. Now, we still have a lot of rain, but its not so cold like the past. But it never get dry.

Thanks Luis, I had to ask. I live in an area where it can snow a lot, but it's always dry. So when the cultural recommendations are: cool and dry, it's always better to find out what that means. When we have 20-25% rh. in our apartments in winter, we're doing really well.
