Rhyncholaelia digbyana

Also from Redland Orchid Festival 2013. This is one of the white cattleya looking plants with a fringed lip. We got this bare root. It was the only plant at that vendor that seemed like it might have any live roots. We got it because I have been wanting one since they are so interesting looking. We potted it in a 4" clay orchid pot with standard bark mix. We had to use one of those metal clips to hold it in place so it wouldn't wobble and kill any new roots. After we bought it, we looked it up and found out it can sulk about repotting. We were nervous because of that, that it wouldn't root and start making new growths, especially since it was bare roots. But it is !!! It seems like the roots that looked alive when we bought it have lived, and it is starting to make a new growth! We are growing it just like our cattleyas with a good amount of light and letting it dry out completely between waterings. We mist the top sometimes to keep up humidity near the new roots and growths.
