Origins: Chris Davis hybrid

Bloom: Short, compound inflorescence with abbreviated red bracts that sit below the upper leaves and purple tubular flowers.  Upper foliage blushes red during bloom

Light: Strong indirect or filtered light

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary.  Be sure to thoroughly dry center and base of plant after soaking to avoid rotting

 

A cool hybrid created by Chris Davis that leans towards bulbosa in appearance (as most bulbosa hybrids do!) This plant has long leaves but the tend to stay upright and only get slightly wavy, a more structured form than traditional bulbosa Belize.  Produces nice color during bloom and the vanhyningii influence doesn't prevent the floral bracts from popping out which is nice

 

Pups available are 3-4" tall
