Hi all,

Does anyone have tips on growing Spathoglottis? What I think may be the cultivar 'Sorbet Berry Banana' followed me home from the nursery and I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or return it. I don't have any other orchids and it won't be hardy here in zone 7b/8a. Are they fairly easy to grow and keep blooming? I've done some googling but most seem to grow theirs outside year-round, which is clearly not an option here. Will they go dormant in the cooler weather and store well in a basement or do they need to stay green and have a sunny window over winter? What's the chance of successfully growing this in northern Georgia? I can return it as long as it remains in salable condition, so I have to decide quickly before I kill it! Hilarious!

The flowers are just so adorable that I succumbed to its siren song. Rolling my eyes.

Thanks much! Smiling

p.s. Pretty photos, everyone! Smiling
