NPK fertilizer. Leaves should be dried soon after they get wet to prevent leaf spot fungi. Every 10 days plants should get organic fertilizer over the leaves in a solution of up to 600 yS. Occasionally, fish emulsion or sea weed fertilizer (Bioalgen S90) or an amino acid fertilizer is applied. Other genera that grow
well on such stones is the closely related Schlimia and also some terrestrial Polycycnis like P. morganii.
T. chloris flowers are extremely fragrant and do not require pollinators. they are only open for one day.
Concerning sandwich mounts it should be mentioned that Coryanthes were found
to grow even better on sandwich mounts without bark, only Styrofoam (make sure
by calling the producer its free of Freon or similar toxic substances added to
prevent fire in some kinds of styrofoam), some large pieces of broken clay
pots and a bit of fiber peat fixed together with a cord made of synthetic
material.
