Species Orchid, Fessel's Ceratocentron

Difficulty:
Difficult to grow/high-maintenance. I have been able to grow outside year round in St. Petersburg, FL and an infloresc...Read Moreence is forming in February (now). It's probably on the upper limit of heat tolerance here, though. I've had it outside even on nights where the temperature dipped to 32F degree for a short time. However, it's been under a canopy so frost wouldn't fall on it & scar or kill it. I understand ideally it should have year round temperatures ranging from 45F to 80F degrees, night/day temps. Good candidate to be grown in a properly maintained Wardian Case if your climate doesn't match this tropical plant's requirements.
Sun:
Never expose to direct/unfiltered sun with the possible exception of limited early morning sunshine. Best to use 50-40% shadecloth (allows 50% to 60% of light through).
Water:
Never let get completely dried out, but don't let it be soggy all day. I have it attached to a little bit of spaghnum moss & then tied on tree fern. I water it every morning and the moss is slightly damp by evening. In cooler months, I might skip watering if it remains too damp in the morning.
Air Circulation:
Place where it will get adequate air circulation so that fungus and other pathogens will be less likely to develop.
Availability:
Only a few vendors offer this plant. I believe it is protected, so no collecting is allowed; legal seed propogation should be the only means by which it's sold/bought. I don't know if it produces keikis.
