Learning more about brachys

I would be careful with concolor given their huge range and altitudes from sea level to 1000M or more. Unfortunately it's difficult to know just where they originate.

Mike, do you grow concolor var longipetalum(josianae) and var. striatum? and at what temperature in the winter months?

Mine do fine with 45 degree nights. Not too many, only in the dead of winter and running the media dry but the humidity high. Paph. bellatulum that is.

Good point.

No. I had a josianae but it died before I knew how to grow them.

Don't have any info on that...one online search mentions it is from mid-elevation(over 1000m) but I am not sure how reliable the source is. With the geo surroundings, I believe it might be able to handle some coolish temperatures, probably low around 55F(I only guess).

I just checked myanmaricum and it is said to grow at 200-400m in the south which would make it a warm grower. I don't know how reliable that info is..

In Cx Canh’s talk that I was able to attend he said that concolor along with villosum was one of the special species that he has found at a ton of different altitudes. He did say the plants that grow at lower elevation have lighter green leaves. Not sure if that is cultural or genetic

Mike, when I tried to locate the article a little while ago, I realized that info I gave you earlier(@mid elevation) was for armeniacum.
Well, when I googled for myanmaricum, and that was what popped up w/o naming the specific sp....but it is for armeniacum. My bad.

You might be right, It well could be a warm grower. Lori(from Canada) posted her myanmaricum here and she said it is a warm grower.

Yes 2000m puts in the Dendrobium nobile range which gets down to 5C and lower.
