Sarcochilus hartmannii x 'Red Delicious'

A hybrid of Sarcochilus hartmannii × 'Red Delicious', combining a classic Australian rock orchid species with a heavily spotted cultivar selection. It produces dense racemes of numerous rounded flowers with broad, overlapping sepals and petals bearing dense dark spotting over a pale ground, and a prominent yellow column at the center — a floriferous and compact monopodial grower.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; tolerates some morning sun, which encourages strong flowering without scorching the foliage.
• Temperature: 50–75°F (10–24°C); a cool to intermediate grower that benefits from a slight temperature drop at night to initiate flowering.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports healthy root and leaf development between bloom cycles.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to dry slightly between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot or mounted with a coarse, well-draining bark mix and excellent air movement around the roots. Shipped bare root in well-established condition, ready to pot or mount upon arrival.
