What to do with a Brassia hybrid? Male
Default What to do with a Brassia hybrid?

I have recently recieved a shipment of orchids among whome was a gift one, labeled "Brassia hybrid". The seller just said the same. What the hell do i do with that thing? I have a Brassia "rex" (noID from Lidl, but flowers seem to be about 90+% match wherever i looked; that said, i'm far from an expert).
The ones i have are gonna overwinter outside, in full winter sun (9ish am till 2pm, high dimming light from there on). My oldest one that i maltreated by keeping inside immediatly produced a pup, followed by a spike, and a few days ago another one whilist the first has quite obvious buds by now.
Do i just roll the dice on it? I have no idea if different Brassia species/hybrids have widely different care requirements, like those pesky dendrobs.

Any advice on how to proceede?

I think most of the Brassia hybrids grow under the same conditions. I would suggest just treating it like your B. Rex .

NGL, kinda glad you popped in. Irc, it was your suggestion to put it out and the thing exploded. The picture was taken a few days ago, just as the second spike popped out. I'll consider it a good spot for this one as well, i guess.

EDIT: Just as i replied to this post. my mom sent me a picture of a Brassia she bough for 99 cents for me. I find the timing extremley funny.
