Barkeria skinneri Cultivation:

Successful cultivation of the lovely Barkeria skinneri. Here are some important cultural tips to ensure its thriving growth:

  • Light: Barkeria skinneri prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon.
  • Temperature: This orchid enjoys intermediate to warm temperatures. Daytime temperatures should be between 20-28°C (68-82°F), and nighttime temperatures can drop to 10-15°C (50-59°F). It's important to provide a distinct difference between day and night temperatures.
  • Humidity: Barkeria skinneri prefers moderate to high humidity, around 50-70%. You can achieve this by using humidifiers, misting regularly, or growing it in a well-ventilated greenhouse.
  • Watering: Water frequently during the active growing season, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Additional Notes:

  • It is a deciduous epiphytic orchid, meaning it naturally grows on trees and sheds its leaves during the dormant period.
  • It blooms in the fall and winter.
  • It prefers to be grown mounted on cork bark or in baskets with a well-draining substrate.
