Gastrochilus retrocallus yellow lip 002519

Gastrochilus retrocallus yellow lip 002519 is a compact epiphytic orchid selected for yellow-toned lip coloration, with natural variation in shade possible as flowers develop. Its leathery foliage and tidy growth make it an appealing choice for mounted displays and space-conscious species collections.

Care Guide

• Light: Provide medium to bright, filtered light, avoiding intense midday sun.
• Water: Water regularly while actively growing, allowing the exposed roots to dry lightly between waterings. Reduce frequency somewhat in cooler, slower-growing periods without imposing a hard dry rest.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity with strong, continuous air circulation.
• Temperature: Grow in intermediate to warm conditions and protect the plant from cold drafts and temperature extremes.
• Growing medium: Mount on cork or tree fern, or use a small basket with a coarse, fast-draining orchid mix that keeps the roots well aerated.

With filtered light, regular watering, humid moving air, and quick-drying roots, Gastrochilus retrocallus yellow lip 002519 can develop into a beautifully detailed compact specimen.
