Dichaea x Zygopetalum hybrid
Dichaea glauca x Zygopetalum crinitum
Primary hybrid between the cloud-forest epiphyte Dichaea glauca and the Brazilian Zygopetalum crinitum. Plants typically show upright to arching pseudobulbs with leaves and colourful, fragrant flowers influenced by both parents. They respond well to cool to intermediate conditions, medium light, high humidity and evenly moist, airy media, with a slightly drier rest between growths. Ecological data reflect typical cloud-forest parentage rather than a natural range.
