    Very pretty. I have a baby one of these. Probably a 2 year wait for me. I am with Bill, any culture tips?

    Thanks for your comments.
    Bill and Jonada :
    Culture:
    -good drainage used charcoal and fern fibres,in between allow the medium to dry partially.
    -I spray twice a day due to hot weather here (equator) in temperate country need to do accordingly.
    -this guy really enjoy frequent fertilizer and organic to make it strong.
    -bright light, hope these will help

    That is beautiful, Zainal. I'm partial to green orchids, but have heard that this one is a very slow grower. Is that true? Thanks for the wonderful picture...Betty :-)

    100% I agree with you Betty, slow growing including their relative such as Rhyncolaelia glauca. Once this guy adapted they can grow relatively pretty fast.
