beseae flavum Sami's Choice

[eteson]

It had two spikes but I left only one because the plant is not very strong yet. (It is recovering from a severe erwinia attack two years ago). We put it under a full spectrum led light and it is growing vey fine now. I think that flavum besseae needs lots of light to thrive.
NS is 9.6cm. PW is 2.6 and it comes from The Orchid Zone, (Thanks John!)
Sorry the poor quality pictures but the pot is a big stone and I cannot move it to take better pics.

Sorry the misspelling it is besseae but I cannot edit the title.

Looks to be of terrific quality, that's for sure. Sorry to hear about the erwinia attack, but I'm glad the plant has recovered for you.

Excelent form and nice color. Congrats Eliseo. Tell us more about the stone it is grown. What type of stone can be used?

Thanks for your comments!
Martin, it is a carved sandstone inside a plastic tray. When I water the plant the stone keeps partially covered by water for 30 mins and the porosity of the stone gets saturated. I think that you saw my setup? It works very fine for besseae and will try also with kovachii.

Yes, I saw it. What kind of stone do you use?
