Encyclia cordigera alba

[zainal abidin]

very nice! I hope to bloom mine one day. Do you find that vegetatively, the alba is smaller than the normal colored variety?

Actually I never seen the normal colored variety, I have one was told by vendor that its cordigera very huge pseudobulb but when bloom times was not cordigera but other species, from the orchids books that I have generally the pseudobulb is very huge as compare to alba one, I agree with you Ron.

I was wondering for my alba is so much smaller than my normal variety.

This plants from hot to warm area I suppose this species very hardy if normal variety can grow very big pseudobulb in your GH by right the alba shouldnt be a problem. Probably need to check the roots system like mine I got many species stunted and refuse to grow and noticed the root system gone due to cochroach,snails and other bugs.

I have it in a slat basket so i can see healthy roots. I will give it more time. One of these days it is going to give me a bunch of spikes...
