Trichocentrum longicalcaratum treated outcross #93812 ('00787' x '0083') (approximately 25 seedlings per flask). These seedlings have been treated to alter the chromosome count. This does not guarantee that they will be 4N. For more information go to Ploidy.

The Species: This species grows in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru at elevations from 3000 to 6000 ft in mountain forest. The pendant flowers are about 1.25" across and very long lasting. It can be in bloom for much of the year

Culture: I grow this plant with 50 degree minimum night temperatures in moderate shade. It would likely do well in cool-inermediate temperatures too. It likes to dry just slightly between waterings, but not be left dry for sustained periods. I water it most every morning unless it has not yet dried from the day before. It is best grown mounted to show off the somewhat pendant flowers.
