I LOVE macrocliniums. In fact I have quite a few, they then tend to do very well for me. They all seem to repeat bloom off spikes for quite a few weeks or more. I have them in my orchid tanks, fairly close to the fan, medium light. I used to keep them dryer but find they do better when kept wetter and high humidity, but not sure I'd keep them wetter if they weren't near the fan. I do know a good grower who keeps them in a glass cylinder with no air flow and does very well with them. Because I have limited plants that can go right next to the fans I keep them where they are at.

The Shunkyuden has adjusted well, still has one wonky flower. I hope to see it flower again next season. I did not order from Satomi this time but I was sure tempted. I honestly don’t have any room on my Neo stand unless I come up with a way to hang pots from the side while still giving them sufficient light. The top shelf doesn’t have any plants on it and if I could add light without it looking unattractive, I would have space for several more Neo pots! I have about 50 Neos now so maybe I should chill out for awhile. The weather is nearing that time of year where I hate to have plants shipped anyway.
Macrocliniums are so cool! I hope these new plants continue to grow and flower. I have my plants in the greenhouse shelf under lights with a fan constantly running. They seem to be fine after a month. These two are bigger plants than the first one was so hopefully they will not decline as it has. I’ve not lost it yet!
Please post pictures of your new acquisitions from Satomi, I’m sure I’ll be jealous!
