How do you grow this species? I have read that this species grow standing in water, what medium do you use, fertilize, light, temperature?

I don't have one but I do have these notes on it:
Found in Guyana, Venezuela, Roraimo & Pakaraimo Mountains, along river valleys. Full sun to semi-shade, constant moist, 90 degree days/65 degree nights, constant air movement.

Here is a LINK (http://www.orchidweb.com/OrchidOfWeek.aspx?id=154) for you.

WOW! That's a really pretty picture in the OL listing!

Thanks for all information and links but I would relly like to know of someone who grows it and hear about his/her experiance with this species.

Maybe Jason or Tom can weigh in on this.

Yes, and they have really great plants to! I have only ordered one plant befor but I was so satisfied with that plant and when I heard that Jerry Fischer was going to come to UK I sent him a mail immediately and ordered as many plants I could afford.

I have tried growing this species but they just don't like my conditions. I got a really nice one from OL but it just doesn't like me. Tom of FV said, they are hard to grow.

Is this the hardest one to grow or is there anyone else that is harder?

Probably extaminodium or maybe vittatum, from what I hear vittatum is difficult.
