Phal. lindenii

[SlipperFan]

This is blooming on a small plant, though I understand these can get much larger.

I like the little veins in the bloom. Beautiful!

nice. the largest lindenii I had heard about was one that had been originally in a big clay pot; the plant was mostly out of the pot, but the bottom of the pot had decayed media (moist) and the roots went all around the outside of the clay pot. you could take a big cedar shingle and mount a plant on top and then train the roots to go down inside a clay pot that had old bark and things like that in it so those roots would stay damp, but the rest dry periodically

Interesting flower. Remove five petals/sepals, I see a women with oven mits.

Is this the proper way to grow?
Mine came in plastic pot w/ large bark mix.
Thank you.

I do not think there is a 'proper way' to grow any species. What works for Dot may not work as well for others, depending on environment...

I actually have three of these from two different vendors, and they all came mounted. If one had come potted, I'd probably have thought that was the way to grow them. But since they came mounted and are doing well for me that way, I'll keep them that way.

Because they came mounted, I supposed they like frequent waterings with drying in-between.

But as paphioboy said, what works for me may not work for others.

from the looks of it she's from pennsylvania-dutch country

if you grow them potted, they don't want to be 'wet' for a long time, especially in winter when things get cool. if they do stay wet in winter they will crown rot. so, if you don't mind watering a bit when it's warm then open bark is fine

I think it is stunningly beautiful in every way. The patterned leaves and the form and coloration of the bloom make a beautiful presentation. It will only get better over time. Now if only it could fill a greenhouse with the bright honey-sweet fragrance of citrus blossoms...(I don't ask for much, do I?)
