Wow, wonderful, Zach! The one I got last year from Malala didn't make it. It was in a relatively decent condition, but I screwed up. I should try it again, maybe via LOC next time. Can you share your culture condition?

Very interesting !!!! Jean
a very pretty flower
Eric, I'll get a picture of part of the plant later. It's about 18" long and viney.
Naoki, I grow this in my orchid tank alongside Lepanthes, mini Bulbos and two Cryptopus species. Temps range from low 60s winter nights to low 80s summer day. It is lit by a 2 bulb 4' T5HO fixture with bulbs that are past their prime and an additional fixture consisting of two 20" LED strips (Tank is 4' long, so these run in a line across the length up front.) Internal aquarium cooling fan (we've talked about this one before) for air circulation plus I run the ceiling fan at night for extra circulation. The actual tank is a 36x18x18 Exo Terra tank with an aquarium with the same dimensions flipped on top. There is a vent near the base but the top is sealed. The plant is mounted to a cypress mount with a small amount of coco fiber around the roots.

Mature growth?
That's cool. Have never seen this one before so thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info, Zach! The flipped aquarium setup sounds interesting.
It's a side track, but is Cryptopus elatus ok in the intermediate range? I'm on my second. The last time, it was growing well for the first 5-6 months, and stopped growing, and gradual decline over a long time. I imagined that LOC is probably growing them warm, and my environment was too cold (60/73F), this time I'm growing warmer (68F/86F). I'm guessing that you probably know how they grow Cryptopus!
