This guy is going crazy too! Lol so tiny and cute, and smells like the most amazing sweet, sugary lemons! There are 4 mature plants in this 1.5” pot! I’ve counted a total of 11 spikes that are forming, and or blooming this year! Love this little cutie!

That is going to be an amazing show for such a tiny thing. Any tips?

I grow it with all my paphs, in a west window of my home. Bright shade most of the day, and a couple hours of direct sun in the afternoon. I grow them in straight sphagnum, and water when it’s dry. Very easy and reliable bloomer.

foliage as well.
