IDENTIFY GALEOTTIA FIMBRIATA

 Galeottia fimbriata is native to Colombia and Venezuela. In Colombia, this orchid grows at low altitudes in a hot, humid climate and is commonly cultivated. In Venezuela, these plants are found near the border with Colombia in Stan Zulia at heights of 100 - 350 m and at Stan Táchira at an altitude of 900 m.

Galeottia fimbriata care and culture

 It is a medium sized, hot to cool growing epiphyte or rarely lithophyte, which reaching height of 45 cm, with clustered, ovoid, rugose, about 5 cm long and 3 cm wide pseudobulbs enveloped basally by imbricate, distichous, acute sheaths and carrying 2 apical, oblanceolate, plicate, acute to acuminate, petiolate, about 40 cm in length and 8 cm in width leaves.

 The Fringed Galeottia blooms in the winter and early spring on an erect, basal, 13 to 22 cm long inflorescence arising on a newly maturing pseudobulb with rigid, lanceolate, acuminate floral bracts carrying 2 to 3, fleshy flowers. The scattered flowers in the shape of a star are about 8 cm in diameter, slightly brown petals of the perianth, on which there are densely spaced, broad, dark, rusty-brown to purple-brown oblong lines. The lip is white with longitudinal purple lines that fade closer to the end. The lip of the lip has a fairly wide strip of irregular, rather meaty white hairs, which are the longest near the base and shorter near the end. Dark purple lines of nerves at the lip become slightly papillary at its end, and irregular white hair grows out of them. The creamy-colored backbone is brownish at the base with a narrow longitudinal purple line on the lower side. The flowers have an upright dorsal perianth petal and obliquely located outer and outer flakes.

GALEOTTIA FIMBRIATA CARE AND CULTURE

 Cultural information should only be used as a guide, and should be to be adapted to suit you. Your physical location; where you grow your plants, how much time you have to devote to their care, and many other factors, will need to be taken into account. Only then can you decide on the cultural methods that best suit you and your plants.

Light:

 Galeottia fimbriata needs a light level of 20000-30000 lux. The intense light should be slightly filtered or scattered, and the plants should not be exposed to the direct sunlight of the midday sun. Strong air movement should be ensured all the time.

Galeottia fimbriata care and culture

Temperature:

 It is a thermophilic plant. In summer, the average daytime temperature is 32 ° C, at night 22-23 ° C, with a daily amplitude of 9-10 ° C. In winter the average day temperature is 30-31 ° C, night 21-22 ° C, which gives a daily difference of approx. 9 ° C.

Humidity:

 The Fringed Galeottia needs the humidity of about 75% throughout the year.

Substrate, growing media and repotting:

 Galeottia fimbriata can be grown in shallow containers with good drainage or cork. However, such plants require high humidity, and during hot and dry weather, they should be watered several times a day. You can also grow it in shallow pots or baskets with a quick-drying substrate with excellent drainage and good aeration that allows for quick drying after watering.

 The plants of this type do not tolerate degraded soil around the roots and suggest using pots rather loosely filled with tree ferns or Osmond fern roots. Growers usually use medium granulation of fir bark or pieces of tree fern with the addition of thick perlite and / or chopped sphagnum, which simultaneously increases the permeability of the substrate and allows moisture retention. The addition of charcoal helps to ensure permeability and prevents soda.

 The plants should be repotted when the substrate begins to decompose or grow out of the pots. It's best to do it when new roots start growing. This will allow the plant to adapt to the new substrate in the shortest possible time.

Watering:

 The plants should be watered abundantly during periods of intensive growth, but excellent drainage should be ensured so that the ground around the roots is never damp or soggy. When new growths reach maturity in late autumn, the amount of water should be reduced.

Galeottia fimbriata care and culture

Fertilizer:

 The plants should be fertilized every week 1/4-1/2 of the recommended dose of fertilizer for orchids. A fertilizer with a high nitrogen content is beneficial from spring to mid-summer, and a fertilizer richer in phosphorus should be used in late summer and autumn.

Rest period:

 Galeottia fimbriata need much less water in the winter and should rather dry out before the next watering. In most areas, adequate humidity will be ensured by morning fogging, between uncommon, poor watering. However, the amount of water supplied should be increased if the leaves are wrinkling or show signs of weakness.
