Description
This grows in a 6" basket of 100% NZ sphagnum. Usually I have to cut the basket off the plant when repotting. It is located in the general vicinity of the complex paphs and other pleurothallids in the forward section of the greenhouse closer to the intake vents. Cool to intermediate temps seem to suit it just fine. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger and blooms very reliably every February. This plant gets lots of giggles from visitors when they first see the little "monkeys" bob their faces up and down with the air movement.
