Re: EL PERU Y SUS ORQUIDEAS II !!!! Pues Veronica, yo soy invitado y el saloncito esta bonito, creo que ahora hay mas ambiente de fiesta con musica tipica peruana , bebidas y algunos antojitos, llenos de expectativas que nuestro amigos nos muestren su pais , su cultura, sus orquideas, como las cultivan. Mientras, porque no te sirves un coctel de pisco, nicoli invita, anda en la cocina preparando unos anticuchos y un arroz con pollo para darle a francisco. Saludos a todos.
Re: EL PERU Y SUS ORQUIDEAS II !!!! Srs Buenas tardes, veo que la conversacion ha estado amena, pero un poco que se olvida el tema principal LAS ORQUIDEAS. EXELENTE EL LINK de las orquideas endemicas. gracias Por otro lado, alguien sabe de alguna fabrica de macetas de arcilla ?? quiero comprar un buen lote pero no se donde las vendan, hace años iba a uno en villa el salvador pero ahora solo venden muebles. Ahora una pregunta a los foreros....Los Odontoglosums que Uds tienen...los tienen en maceta ? o el plancha de osmunda , los mios no quieren progresar.. PD: La Cattleya maxima se ha recuperado notablemente
Re: EL PERU Y SUS ORQUIDEAS II !!!! Amigos peruanos, me alegra este nuevo foro, en este ambiente tan bonito vuelvo a participar. Norman hablas del genero Chlorea que lo compartimos con nuestros hermanos peruanos, algunas recomendaciones en cuanto a su cultivo, en termino general?. Si estan interesados en el libro de Maria Julia Freuler (compatriota), tengo amigas que la conocen y me pueden mantener al tanto de cuando sale el libro, solo me avisan. Un gusto compartir este salon con ustedes, y yo los convido con mi mate, que no es como el de ustedes, pero lo diverso nos enriquece, saludos desde Argentina Ana Lucia
Re: EL PERU Y SUS ORQUIDEAS II !!!! Nicoli, Francisco y a todos los demas. Salud!!!!, Les regalos una hoja de cultura. Chaubardia heteroclita (Poeppig & Endlicher) C. H. Dodson & D. E. Bennett AKA: Cochleanthes heteroclita (Poeppig & Endlicher) R. E. Schultz & Garay, Huntleya heteroclita (Poeppig & Endlicher) Garay, Maxillaria heteroclita Poeppig & Endlicher, Zygopetalum rhombilabium Schweinfurth. ORIGIN/HABITAT: Ecuador and Peru. Plants grow in wet forests on the lower eastern slopes of the Andes. In Ecuador, they are collected in the southeastern Provinces of Morona-Santiago and Zamora-Chinchipe at 3300-6900 ft. (1000-2100 m). In Peru, they are found in the Department of San Martín between Tarapoto and Lamas at 2300 ft. (700 m) and in the Department of Junín near Chanchamayo at 4750 ft. (1450 m). CLIMATE: Station #84455, Tarapoto, Peru, Lat. 6.5S, Long. 76.4W, at 922 ft. (281 m). Temperatures are calculated for an elevation of 2300 ft. (700 m). Record extreme temperatures are not available for this location.

Plants need rather shady conditions, so light should be somewhat filtered or diffused. Brisk, continuous air movement is best. TEMPERATURES: Throughout the year, days average 84-87F (29-31C), and nights average 64-67F (18-20C), with a diurnal range of 17-23F (9-13C). These temperatures reflect about the warmest conditions under which this orchid should be grown. Because of the range in habitat elevation, plants should adapt to conditions where days average 71-77F (22-25C), nights average 52-57F (11-14C), and the diurnal range is 18-25F (10-14C). HUMIDITY: Reports are not available for this location. Records from nearby stations indicate that humidity probably averages 75-80% year-round. WATER: Rainfall at Tarapoto is light to moderate throughout the year with a somewhat drier period in winter. Conditions in the habitat are undoubtedly wetter than indicated by the rainfall averages at the weather station, however, and even more moisture is available from heavy dew and mist. The rainfall pattern in the habitat is probably the same, with a similar drier period in winter and early spring. Cultivated plants should be watered fairly heavily while actively growing, but drainage must be excellent, and the roots must be able to dry fairly rapidly after watering. Because these plants have no water storage capabilities, the medium must never dry out completely. FERTILIZER: 1/4-1/2 recommended strength, applied weekly. A high-nitrogen fertilizer promotes vegetative growth in spring through midsummer, but using a fertilizer high in phosphates in late summer and autumn promotes blooming the next season. REST PERIOD: Growing temperatures should be maintained throughout the year. Water should be reduced in winter, especially for plants grown in the dark, short-day conditions common in temperate latitudes, but plants should never dry out completely. Fertilizer should be reduced or eliminated until new growth starts and heavier watering is resumed in spring. New growths are susceptible to rot, so they should be watered carefully to keep water from lodging in the tube formed by the young leaves. Rot in new growths may be prevented to a large extent by spraying a mixture of fungicide into the tube of the new growth. GROWING MEDIA: This epiphytic orchid is best grown in a perfectly drained open basket loosely filled with osmunda or shredded tree-fern fiber with some chopped sphagnum moss mixed in. As these plants are intolerant of having their roots disturbed once established, but are also intolerant of stale conditions around the roots, an open, well-aerated medium that breaks down very slowly should be used. Hawkes (1965) reported that many growers experience serious difficulties with closely related plants grown in various bark mixes and suggested that these be avoided. When repotting is necessary, it should be done just as new roots are starting to grow which allows the plant to become reestablished in the shortest possible time with the least amount of stress. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: The bloom season shown in the climate table is based on reports from the habitat. Plant and Flower Information: PLANT SIZE AND TYPE: A variably sized, 24 in. (60 cm), sympodial epiphyte. PSEUDOBULB: Very small and inconspicuous. The flat, rectangular pseudobulbs are closely spaced on a short rhizome and enclosed from the base by several distichous, overlapping leaf sheaths, each 1 of which is leaf-bearing. LEAVES: 6-22 in. (15-55 cm) long by 1.2-2.6 in. (3.0-6.5 cm) wide. A single erect to arching, thinly leathery, dark green leaf is carried at the apex of the small pseudobulb. The sharply pointed leaves have several fairly prominent longitudinal veins and gradually taper to a narrow, longitudinally folded, petiolelike base. The leaves on the upper sheaths are about the same size as the apical leaf, but the ones on the lower sheaths may be somewhat shorter. INFLORESCENCE: Up to 6 in. (15 cm) long. The rather short, erect flower spike is produced at the base of a recently matured growth, emerging from the leaf-sheaths. FLOWERS: 1. A single, rather spreading blossom is carried at the apex of the inflorescence. Flowers have sepals and petals that are pale to dark tan-yellow with 4-5 brick-red longitudinal veins, a white to pale purple lip with a darker bluish purple callus, and a white to pale lilac-purple column with a cream anther. The egg-shaped to lanceolate sepals and petals taper to sharply pointed apices. The dorsal sepal is 1 in. (2.5 cm) long by 0.4 in. (0.9 cm) wide near the base and is erect at the base but curves forward so that the tip projects forward over the column. Lateral sepals are 1.3 in. (3.3 cm) long by 0.3 in. (0.7-0.8 cm) wide. They are obliquely spreading at the base but curve or twist somewhat along their length so that their tips are sometimes convergent and sometimes divergent. Petals are 1.1 in. (2.8 cm) long by 0.3 in. (0.7 cm) wide. They spread obliquely upward from the base to be held fairly closely to each side of the dorsal sepal. And like the dorsal sepal, they curve forward along their length so that their sharply pointed tips project forward. The blade of the lip is egg-shaped to lanceolate with a rather narrow, sharply pointed apex. The lip is 1.5 in. (3.9 cm) long by 0.6 in. (1.6 cm) wide near the base of the blade. It projects forward from the base but curves downward rather sharply toward the apex. The callus at the base of the lip is concave and has several teeth or keels with round or blunt tips. The bow-shaped column is about 0.4 in. (1.1 cm) long and has a pair of broadly triangular wings. HYBRIDIZING NOTES: N/A.
