Holcoglossum lingulatum

A terete-leaved epiphyte from the cloud forests of Southeast Asia, producing erect, multi-flowered racemes above a fan of narrow, cylindrical, arching foliage. It is prized for its elegant floral presentation and compact, architectural growth habit.

• Light: High light with 30–50% shade cloth; this genus requires significantly more light than most orchids to bloom reliably. Avoid deep shade.
• Temperature: 55–85°F (13–29°C); an intermediate to warm grower that benefits from a cool, dry rest in winter to initiate flowering.
• Humidity: 60–80%; good air movement is essential to prevent fungal issues around the dense, terete foliage.
• Watering: Water freely during active growth; reduce significantly in winter during the rest period. Never allow roots to remain waterlogged.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork or tree fern for optimal drainage and air circulation. Shipped bare root and well-established; mount or pot promptly upon arrival and water generously to rehydrate the roots.
