>Dear Julius,
Thanks for writing me about the X. lindenii. It is somewhat like
a jungle weather-wise around here right now. Now if I can
figure what to do with it this winter (I don't have a
greenhouse).
Thanks again,
David

Dear David,
It grows in nature as an understory plant in tropical jungle, so
IDEAL
conditions might be air as close to 100% humidity as possible
(mist), keep
soil well-drained but moist, temps in the high 80`s, highish (low
80`s) temp
at night also, and bright light/no sun! Circ. of air with a fan
would be
good also. I heard stories of a grower using a contraption of a
mist/wall
of circ. water that cooled and humidified his g/house that grew
these to a
giant size, he amazed people when he exibited them at the Aroid
show in
Miami (before my time!).
Good luck.
Cheers,
Julius
