Hi everyone,
I was just discussing this species with Jeremiah via PM's. Since this is so new in cultivation, I figured I ask anyone who's growing it to share their experience. Now, Jeremiah has been growing it a fair bit longer than I have (and hopefully will post his set up/conditions here), but here I go (I think I've had it a month...give or take a week).
I keep mine in a typical highland set up. 6-7 inches below 6 4' fluorescent tubes. The bud that was on it upon arrival has openned into a cute 1/4" (or so) pitcher. I'd say it had a 3" diamter upon arrival, and now is about 3.5 to 4"
Night temps: 57-63 (or so)
day temps: high 80's
photo period: 16 hours
humidity: Way up. Not sure exactly, but most likely around 85%.
Soil: Not entirely sure....still in what it was shipped to me in. 3" pot. I'd guess a mix of pete/LFS and orchid mix. At least that's what it looks like....and fairly petey.
I have gotten one new leaf with a swelling bud, and the next leaf is coming. So far, my set up seems to be working fairly well. I need some more experience so I can establish a cultivation benchmark.
Cheers!
