Patrick,
This was originally a Tricocentrum, and comes from
around 1600 meters altitude and grows in wet montane forest. Compare these
conditions with your growing conditions.

Subject: [OGD] Plectrophora help
I've had a Plectorphora triquetra for a couple of years without much
progress. It seems that for every reluctant leaf it produces, it loses
one. There have been no flowers although the longest leaf is
about 15cm (6") or so. It is the sole original leaf! The new
ones are all shorter - perhaps 5cm. I have used Jay Pfahl's
orchidspecies.com site to suggest:
warm, humidity 75%, rain watered twice a week, 50cm (20") from 4 x
8' fluorescent light tubes, potted in loose sphagnum moss in a plastic
pot, fertilized once a week weakly for 3 weeks with hydorponic
fertilizer then a good flushing.
Is this a difficult plant? Have you any suggestions about
improvements?
