| I don't know how similar it is to Angraecum elephantinum, which I have mounted on cork. I mist it daily or twice a day and dunk it briefly every week or two. It lives outside on a north-facing porch all through summer and then hangs near a south-facing window in winter. It seems quite tolerant of these conditions. Next year's spike forms in a leaf axil shortly after the old one finishes with its bloom period (weeks). The little shoot sits there doing nothing obvious until early summer, when it starts to elongate. It is thrilling to watch the blossom and spur unfold over the course of ten days to two weeks. -- Bill |
