Restrepia falkenbergii



I have tried this relatively large growing species twice and killed twice.

Jay Pfahl says in his Orchid Species Encyclopedia:

"Found in Antioquia department of Colombia in the central cordillera at elevations around 1000 to 2000 meters as a medium sized, cool growing epiphyte"

I have tried to grow it twice, the plant has prospered during the summers of 2015 and 2022. The last picture is terrible, but it shows the effect of a radiation frost in the greenhouse during December 2022.
