Stanhopea (connata X nigroviolacea 'Predator')
This is our own production. Flowers are 4-6" in size, 2-4 on a pendant stem and are very fragrant, but, alas, like other Stanhopeas, are rather short lived. These are grown in plastic mesh baskets and prefer to be shady and kept moist. Use a liquid or water soluble fertilizer once a month (see ours in the "Supplies" section). They are tolerant of temperatures from the mid 40's to mid 60's at night to the mid 80's during the day, but don't let them become dry (the usual cause of leaf spotting along with too much sun). They are late Spring to early Fall flowering and can be grown outdoors in temperate areas. They should bloom next year.
