Very nice plants. I noticed that theye are wet in all pics. How many times do you water them? What do you use as potting media? Don't you have rot problems?

2 times a week in winter, 3 in summer, plus fogging several times a week (they're in a greenhouse) it just happens the sprinklers go on just before I get there. Most grow in LECA, a few left in bark / perlite / charcoal mix. I don't seem to get rot with the fans blowing air around.

Not open yet?

It's taking its sweet time!
Getting a bit impatient but I see a small separation between the dorsal and synsepal, so it is literally any day now. I'll be back on Saturday to hopefully see something half or more open, it's only been almost 2 months ha!

I wonder if I feed it some blood if it will wake up?

Just grow it for a few more days, then I'll come around to collect it! :evil:

I bloomed out hang by stonei... boring. Very dull flower color and very twisted. Hopefully, roth's influence in your plant brighten things up.

Like promised half open!
Colour is cream base with burgundy venation, pouch is more vivid wine.
It's going to be a fairly good size, right now at only half open width is 9cm, petal length is around 9cm each, if it goes flat will be around the 18-20cm hopefully.
