Wow.. Nice bloom.. But does it grow that sloowwwwly..? I'd rather go with its hybrid, Lemforde 'White Beauty' (x sesquipedale)..

yes... very sloooooooooow!!

the roots have grown very fast (the pot was full after a year only), but leaves don't follow. now it's growing a little faster and bigger as the plant matures.
I have grown it in appartment windowsill, then under lights, now it's into the greenhouse. Grown as my Catts (winter rest, cooler temps)

:clap: I really like angraecums but don't they do better under warm conditions/warm growers?

no, this one needs cool and dry in winter to bloom
and not that much warmth is needed in summer, at least in needs high light and prefers quite high humidity
