Barbosella australis care

[Roberta]

I don't grow that particular Barbosella species, but the ones that I have grow rather shady. I grow them outside so they get cool winter nights and moderately warm summers. I water them daily (but I live in a rather dry climate)

If you have the conditions for mounted plants, they grow well mounted, since they have a creeping habit.

Thanks, Roberta! It's just a video I watched on youtube, this guy had two Barbosellas and the one that received more light boooom it was full of blooms and the other one was quite poor, though the size was the same. I grow indoors so I always stay away from mounted enclosures. I have it with coco peat, lava rock for aeration and a little moss on top, same as my Masdevallia whom by the way has loved this setup.

Cheers,

Stan.
