Zygo. Jumpin Jack is a very popular and famous Zygopetalum hybrid. Our select clone was named after Jamie Fang. This awesome clone is very compact for its type, has heat tolerance, and produces multiple inflorescences per pseudobulb. Each inflorescence holds 6—8 long-lasting fragrant flowers. We just love the eye-catching contrasting dark blue lip.
Zygopetalum require humid conditions with good air circulation under moderate shade with plenty of water during the growing season, less after new pseudobulbs are fully formed. Zygopetalum will respond best if divided and repotted when the new growths are stretching upward. They are quite succulent and should be divided only when necessary, with care as pseudobulbs are easily damaged or even broken. The roots are brittle and expect to break most of them in dividing so the divisions need a bit of babying along to become re-established. Any medium that is free draining such as a mixture of fine bark, charcoal, and perlite will work well. We prefer to grow these in sphagnum moss. Inconsistent watering, dry conditions, or low humidity can result in the leaves becoming pleated like and accordion, a condition that is not reversible. You can grow these plants on a windowsill or under lights in your home without them taking over the entire space. Rarely found in the marketplace. Highly recommended.
