Really cool species. I love the canes on this. What kind of growing conditions do you give it

Very bright light, hanging on the intermediate side of my greenhouse. Water 2x a week in the brighter months with less water for a couple months in the winter.

Dot, why don't you mount it? They love to hang.

They came to me potted. I put them in baskets where they can hang over the edge, which they are beginning to do. Before the baskets, I used to stake them upright.

Bizarre looking flowers, but attractive. Reminds me of
Den. spectabile (sp?).

Hmmm. Nothing like spectabile. Spectabile's flowers are much larger and very twisted, and the plant is huge. This plant is small, as are the flowers. And they are quite flat in comparison. First disagreement for us, Angela!oke:

I guess this is the nominal variety with the dark petals.
