Identification note:
As of 2022-07, I believe this species may be Corybas kaiganganianus, which was described and published in 2022-04. See Resources section. I am tentatively referring to this plant as Corybas cf kaiganganianus
Substrate
As of 2019-11, I’m using the following substrate mix for this species:
5:3:2; peat moss: perlite : fine bark (Pinus radiata)
The substrate surface is topped lightly with Sphagnum to keep moisture in and humidity up.
Culture
The plant is kept very humid by growing in a seed dome (dome lid is not shown in the accompanying photos, but is kept on at all times)
The substrate is kept evenly / lightly moist by misting with distilled water occasionally.
During dormancy the watering is slightly reduced.
