I would continue letting it grow as is and water daily if you want to try it mounted. If I recall correctly, Witchcraft does not necessarily need a hard winter rest and can keep growing.

I think a big thing is - just like with bifoliate Cattleyas - repot when new roots are growing!

That is the case for culture awards since culture awards are given to the owner, not the plant. Flower quality awards are given to the plant, so it doesn't matter who owns them at the time that it...

Cypress mulch is nice because it does not break down quickly in moist conditions and will add acidity to the media - which is great for acid loving plants. For those that prefer alkaline conditions,...

Agreed,
That one is spectacular. I think it needs to grow up a little more and it'll flatten out a little better. Some cupping is expected on a peloric cross like this. I don't think yours is too...

I don't remember all the differences, but part of it is that both have different bloom seasons and I believe B. appendiculata has 12 pollinia instead of 8 like cucullata (don't quote me though).

I've got these growing in peat, perlite, and coarse sand in a relatively tall pot that sits in about an inch of water most of the year. I think the biggest thing that helps them be a lot hardier is...

Cyrtorchis chailluana

Almost missed this one, been too busy to check up on everything recently.
This little guy is currently growing under some Vandas and seems to be loving it. Got it last year from Botanica Ltd.
