Guarianthe bowringiana

A robust and highly striking species from the tropical forests of Central America, developing impressive, tall pseudobulbs that create an eye-catching, structural display. In season, it produces exceptional, large-clustered inflorescences that carry numerous heavily textured, long-lasting blossoms elegantly bunched together above the leathery foliage to create a truly magnificent spectacle.

• Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sunlight with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to safeguard the foliage.
• Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C); an adaptable intermediate grower that responds wonderfully to stable indoor or greenhouse environments.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintaining consistent atmospheric moisture supports uniform vegetative growth and rapid root establishment.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when actively growing and allow the medium to dry almost completely before repeating.

Additional Notes

Growing this medium to large-sized variety in a coarse, fast-draining bark mix ensures optimal root aeration to maximize its vigorous growth and grand blooming potential. Ships bare root, well established, and ready to be rehydrated at an intermediate temperature and promptly potted upon receipt.
