Species Specific Forum : Growing Orchids and Hybrids

admin · Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 11:16 pm Post subject: Ascocentrum curvifolium

A very nice contrast to Asc. miniatum.

When the spikes open fully I shall replace the pictures.
From Tailand China and India, amongst other places, I grow it intermediate with high humidity and daily thorough soaks. Misting and spraying only during the winter. Dappled shade during the summer and full light in the winter.

Hi Bill

I am feeling very tempted to buy this species. Any advice on what is its flower trigger?

Cheers
Trey

I love this species, the flower colour reminds me of a tropical sunset. Which makes me wonder why I haven't got one. Rolling Eyes
