Gomesa varicosa v. Felicio Valdiño H002904

A selected clone of a species from the cloud forests of South America, producing arching inflorescences densely packed with small, star-shaped flowers arranged along wiry, branching stems. 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, strap-like leaves.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°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

Best grown in a bark-based mix or mounted on cork bark to accommodate its pendant inflorescences and active root system. Shipped bare root and well established.
