Rossioglossum

Grow Rossioglossum in pots with medium-grade epiphyte mixture. Provide full light and cool temperatures. Water regularly during active growth. After the pseudobulbs mature reduce watering. The plants require a cool, very dry winter rest period. Resume normal watering only after the emergence of new growths. Plants of Rossioglossum do not respond well to root disturbance and respond best when repotted in only slightly larger pots that allow for only one years new growth. Yearly repotting after the emergence of new growths, removing old roots and potting material from the back of the plant while taking care not to disturb the root system of the previous season’s growth, reduces repotting shock to the plants.
