C. amethystoglossa Roy's x amethystoglossa 'Exotic spots'

[plumania]

I see.....only problem is our summer rains. I keep plants outdoors so they can get enough light and moisture.Rainy season is going to start soon and I hope plant can take it.
Should I poke holes in the plastic container ? For more air....we have very high humidity here.

Oops.....it is actually loddigessi, not amethystoglossa.

Sorry for confusion.

However, I already repotted amethystoglossa though, and probably roots were lose enough in pot to dunk the whole thing in a wood basket. It did not have much media to begin with. So, time will tell how it does.

Now, about real culprit...loddigessii... I guess same advise applies since it is also a bifoliate.
Somehow I keep gravitating towards bifoliates now.

Well, I don't have a loddigessii but I have a C. Loddiaca which has loddigessii as a parent. I grow it the same as my other Catts in medium bark. It has bloomed twice since I got it as a large seedling so seems happy. But I always try and re-pot my orchids only when there is new root growth.
