Ceratostylis retisquama

Care Guide

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light. Protect it from harsh direct midday sun.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the growing medium is nearly dry, then allow excess water to drain away. Avoid leaving the plant in standing water.
• Humidity: Keep humidity moderate to high with good air movement.
• Temperature: Grow in comfortable intermediate temperatures with a gentle day-to-night change.
• Potting: Use a small, airy orchid mix that drains quickly and does not stay soggy.

With its fine texture and miniature scale, Ceratostylis retisquama brings a quiet, collector-worthy character to an orchid collection. Give it steady care and a fresh, well-ventilated environment, and enjoy watching this unusual little orchid settle into its new home.
