Cryptostephanus haemanthoides

My plants are grown in the greenhouse under conditions that slipper
orchids appreciate. They are in a very porous mix about 1/3rd pumice
chips. One plant flowers every year. It only started to flower when
it got pot bound. The other three plants have yet to flower but look
as if they might in a year or two. This species goes deciduous and
loses its leaves in the winter. Then water is reduced but they still
watered occasionally. Other than that they get no special care. They
get fed when the orchids are fed (when I remember) and the same fertilizer.
cheers
