i would like to add though Sam, to put you in the advantage position really and save you the experience I had, that you will notice on researching Stan. care you will notice 2 or 3 repeated pointers of care advice.
- air flow ( as fresh as possible without cold draught) is essential. Stan leaves are highly susceptible to harmful pathogens especially those that are fungal/ bacterial. As with most orchid care cross contamination prevention is standard when cutting/slicing/removing. Sterile equipment etc. Stanhopea leaves dont need any cell membrane damage (sunburn,tears) to become infected with particular harmful fungal pathogens. Still or slow moving humid air is fatal. Use a fan if necessary.

Last season 75% of my stans were wiped out within 2-3 months and whatever and wherever this harmful fungi pathogen came from it meant business. No other orchids or plants were harmed at all and have av 150 mixed orchid species.

The fresh constant air movement is essential and I should have paid more attention.
