get it judged!

Thanks. I actually increased the light levels this season by taking off a layer of shade cloth. This worked well with a much better flowering. So, during winter, I just had a layer of 50% aluminet on the greenhouse. As it warms up, I add a layer of 70% shade cloth. I have a minimum temperature of around 15oC throughout the year and maximum temps are in the high 20's during winter and up to mid 30's during summer. I would water once a week in water and every 4 or 5 days days in summer.

I find philippinense clumps really well, especially compared to other multi-floral species which I can find hard to multiply quickly.

Thanks for that info! I appreciate it.

WOW, so well grown and it should get a CCM. A RARE sight for such a beautiful specimen!

It's terrible, I think you should let me take it off your hands.

Well done in the culture!
