A species native to the montane forests of South Asia, offered here in a well-established big size with a striking pendulous habit. It produces long, arching stems with alternate lanceolate leaves and bears intricate flowers with broad, spreading sepals and petals and a trilobed lip with bold dark markings and fringed margins.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; tolerates slightly more light than many orchids but avoid harsh direct sun.
-
Temperature: 58–80°F (14–27°C); an intermediate to warm grower that appreciates a slight temperature drop at night and good air movement.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; moderate to high humidity supports healthy growth and encourages consistent blooming along the arching stems.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the substrate to approach dryness between waterings; reduce slightly during cooler months to encourage flowering.
Additional Notes
Best displayed in a hanging basket or mounted to showcase its natural pendulous growth habit. Plants are shipped bare root and well established; pot or mount promptly upon arrival and water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots.
