Beautiful orchid that grows ideally in warm and humid temperatures. The distribution area is Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. In the terrarium it grows best epiphytically, that is, mounted. You will receive a flowering plant in a hanging pot.

This charming miniature orchid is somewhat more demanding in care, but rewards with beautiful, yellow-orange glowing flowers when cultivated properly. In the wild it grows as an epiphyte on trees and therefore prefers to be kept mounted in a terrarium.

Ben's tips on plant care:

- Habitat/light requirements: bright to full sun, supplement light requirements with HID lamps if necessary.
- Substrate: tied up on Xaxim or in well-drained orchid substrate with good drainage
- Temperature: optimal at 24-29° C (day), 10-15° C (night)
- Watering: Spray daily when attached, but allow plant to dry well. Otherwise, water 1-2 a week when the upper substrate layers begin to dry. Use only lukewarm water with low lime content. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: needs high humidity, use humidifier or place in terrarium.
- Nutrient addition: fertilize moderately every 2 weeks with diluted orchid fertilizer only during the growing season.
- Ensure good ventilation of the terrarium to avoid fungal infestation.
