Hi,

I've noticed that this species can be found in several places on the
South American tepuis. Are there any variations between the different
populations?

What is an good medium for this species, maybe live sphagnum? Is it
possible to keep it too wet?

Finally, is this species difficult to flower? Does it need any special
treatment for this, cooler temps (like many orchids) or large boosts
of nutrition to build up an energy reserve, since producing those
beautiful flowers ought to be exhausting?

Regards,
