Beautiful delicate flower....is it fragrant?
*this needs high humidity and moisture....this is used to a constant morning dew even on long dry spells for two months (February to April must have temps of 105F on the dry months in these months water it only once a week but the rest of the year constant water every other day)then a sudden monsoon downpour in July to september(so water this plant drenched)....
this is endemic to the Philippines and it is equatorial two seasons only...it doesnt know winter or frost....as a seedling, this was probably pampered in a greenhouse environment where the temperature and climate control is constant ....
when in spike; try bringing the plant to the steam shower every morning and place it in a bright shaded sun on your southfacing windowsill....always on the same spot=dont keep changing the position on your window. weekly weakly fertilizer.
