We enjoy growing this Laelia outdoors under 50% shade  in Northern California all year round. This is a 2-3 bulb division from mother plant and most of them have 1 to 2 spikes (October is a good time to buy them when the spikes are still relatively short, as when they reach 3 to 4 feet tall, not only is it more challenging to ship (risk of spike breaking in shipping), but it also costs much more because of the increase in box size!). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaelia anceps,\u003cspan\u003e the best choice for amateur \u0026amp; expert growers! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNative to Mexico, can handle temperatures from over 100°F down to the mid 20's, making it one of the easiest Cattleya relatives to grow.
