The texture of the flowers is crepe-like and the can be quite long. One of the parents of this cross has flowers up to 10" long making it a spectacular presentation.

Culture: Grow this is low to moderate light in the intermediate to warm range. It gets watered year round and can approach dryness between waterings. I have always grown it mounted to display the pendant flowers. I can also be grown in a pot or basket as long as you position the container so the flowers can hang free.
