Distribution en:
Description en: Genus of about 200 species of evergreen, epiphytic or lithophytic, rhizomatous orchids from mountainous regions, at altitudes of 2,000-3,000m (7,000-10,000ft), in Central and South America. They produce ovoid or oblong-ellipsoid to conical pseudobulbs, each with 1-3 variably shaped, thinly leathery, mid-green leaves at the tip. Flowers are borne in tall or short, erect or arching racemes or panicles arising from the bases of the pseudobulbs, and are highly variable in colour and shape. Many hybrids have been produced that will flower at almost any time of year, with 12 or more flowers in a raceme.
Hardiness en: Frost tender.
Cultivation en:
Propagation en: Divide when the plant fills the pot and "flows" over the sides. Hybrids are better retained as one plant; pot on, in late summer or early spring.
Pests en: Prone to red spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs.
