Gomesa varicosa v. Felicio Valdiño #1

A selected clone of a species from the cloud forests of South America, producing arching inflorescences densely packed with small, star-shaped flowers. The sepals and petals are narrow and spreading, with a broad, fan-shaped lip at the center that gives each flower a distinctive, layered silhouette.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the thin leaves.
• Temperature: 64–75°F (18–24°C); an intermediate to warm grower that tolerates a moderate temperature drop at night.
• Humidity: 60–80%; moderate to high humidity supports vigorous pseudobulb development and prolific flowering.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.

Additional Notes

This clone is grown in a bark-based mix and thrives mounted on cork or in a small pot. Shipped bare root and well established.
