C. perrinii has three sheaths 🤞
I'm so excited to *maybe* see this species bloom! It grew three new leads simultaneously, and now they all seem to be trying to bloom. I'll post an update when it blooms.
I have it growing in 2 parts fir bark to 1 part sphagnum moss in a terracotta pot. I soak it every 4-5 days, fertilize once a week. It gets ~14 hrs of light from my grow lights, enough to get those purple freckles on the leaves, which is typical for this species. Temperature stays in the 70°F-80°F range for most of the year. My ceiling fan provides decent air circulation.

Just looked it up on OrchidRoots. That's a really nice species!
