Pleurothallis rowleei

[Fishballs]

Of all my orchids this is the biggest. Still not very big 10"x18". It bloomed twice this winter. Two weeks after these flowers were spent, new ones, and then keikis.

Make that three times.

Fishballs -

I've just inherited one of these - I think it's the 'fox den' cultivar from J&L. Would you mind telling me how you grow yours? I've done an internet search and come up with very little information. You seem to have tremendous success with yours, so I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks!

hello,I started to collect those,I like them a lot,congrats

I'm giving this a self-bump (can I do that?).

Does anyone know how to care for the Pleurothallis rowleei? I have one sitting on the shelf amoung the phals and paphs. Is this the right light? What about water, heat, humidity, etc.?

Despite best efforts, I can't seem to find culture info for this one, so any advice is very welcome.

Thanks!

Ooooh nice one!

Likes to remain wet. New leaves will dye if you let the pot dry. Once the leaves are grown they have more tolerance. They plant will tell you when its dry. All the leaves curl and will soon open again once thoroughly watered. You wont be doing it any favors by letting it dry. The keiki I planted is growing vigorously in wet live sphagnum. The other in tree fern bits. I mist it three times a day. This one I keep in open air so humidity drops sharply, and doesnt seem to be an issue.
