It is beautiful!!!! Lucasiana is one of my favorite. I like so much the combination of pink and yellow. I was just about to buy one and then change my mind... Now I have second thoughts...   |

Thanks for the interest. It is essentially 'mounted' in rocks/stones in a clay pot. I sometimes put a small wad of sphagnum under the rocks when newly establishing these rupic's. This seems to draw the roots down. Thus I treat them like any other mounted plant, water nearly every day (if I can). It grows in a shade house outdoors here in Texas with a fan on them 24/7. Temps have get up to 100F in the shade house occasionally, but the fans and daily watering seem to keep them any everything else happy. The heat doesn't seem have much affects under these conditions although it is supposed to slow growth. If it does, I haven't noticed. It has put on 5-6 pseudobulbs since I got it and blooms at least twice a year.
