    The Broughtonia sanguinea are great little orchids for those with a lack of space. Small, easy to grow plants with pretty little blooms, the Broughtonia sanguinea does best mounted on wood slabs or growing in a fast draining potting medium, and must be allowed to dry completely between watering or rot will occur and death of the plant. Broughtonia's thrive in heat and high light situations, and like most orchids they prefer an area with good air circulation.
