This is already a well know species here in OB

so, no further comments... just enjoy the photo...

Gorgeous! They have so many buds! Looks like terrarium life suits them very well

Camille, the roots are constantly wet and it loves it... Since I have it, there has been not a single day without flowers (except when I cut the spikes to let the plant have a rest...)

Good job! Though it is native to Taiwan, I have not had it yet.

Very nice Ramon! I just got one two days ago, and it has two buds. How old is yours? So it thrives with moisture, huh? Great information to have. I'll show mine the picture you posted so it can have something to imitate to.

two years or so... it was growing just fine, until I put it in the orchidarium one year ago... then it just exploded growing and blooming all the time...

You cut the spikes to let it rest a little

Incredible!!

Mine has six spikes... only one big bud and now I know what I'll expect (or... what I hope I'll expect

)

You did a very great job with it, do you grow in a piece of branch, right? could you tell me which kind of wood is it?
It looks wonderfully wild!!!
