I think I got it from orchid Web. I’d have to check the tag to be sure though. And yes, they resemble phalaenopsis in their structure. Growing conditions are in my home in a west window. Summer temps of 78-82, winter 64-66, humidity between 45-60 depending on a/c lol. Grown in tree fern fiber...

aren’t they great! So beautiful and lovely! Very easy to grow and bloom too!

Love this little guy. Smells strong of cinnamon!

They have to have direct sunlight for part of the day to bloom Musa.

That’s only way my bulbos will bloom. Have to have direct sunlight.

Lol yep! Has to be somewhat comfortable for us too

im not sure about the dog crap smell... mine smells of very green cut grass.

Yours is very beautiful and very solid red. Looks very healthy as well. I love mine, and it grows like a weed!!! Only flowers for me though if it gets at least a couple hrs of direct warm sun. I grow mine in straight sphagnum moss in a wooden basket.

Yep. We do what we can for our growing conditions and, they either adapt, or they don’t. I’m hard them. I have the attitude where you live or die. Get tough plant! Lol

No, I can’t keep high enough humidity for that. Some of those root tips are starting to brown... When it’s done blooming, I will repot and move the cluster of bulbs over in the pot.

Very beautiful

I grow it in sphagnum and keep it very moist. I let it become just damp, then water again.

Thank you very much. My son is the reason I wake up everyday, my world. Thank you for the prayers, and the orchid community is here for each other. God bless.

Gorgeous! This species is on my wish list!

I agree. Bulbo’s have A bad reputation of stink, which is true for many, but I’ve smelled many species that are quite pleasant as well. My Lasiochilum smells of strong cinnamon! Not natural cooking cinnamon, but candied Christmas cinnamon, and my Frostii smells of fresh cut grass.

A little tip on this species, I had it for a couple years in bright shade, and it didn’t bloom... I started giving it 3-4 hrs of direct, afternoon sun, and boom! Blooms every summer now.

I

I too LOVE cilantro! I literally put it in everything I cook! Haha

Stink beetles? Lol interesting. Well we all have different sniffers I guess! Lol it is a very lovely cilantro smell to me, and from research I’ve done, that’s a common scent for this species.

jjkOC, I wish you and your family the best and you’re in all of our prayers. Family is everything, especially our children. My son will be 5 in September, and he’s been in and out of the hospital his whole life, and we almost lost him a couple of times. Our children are the world, what we live...
