Beautiful orchid that grows in nature on moss-covered tree trunks and branches with bare bark. It only clings to the branches and trunks of trees with its aerial roots. In terrariums, paludariums, orchidariums or greenhouses, it therefore grows very well attached to Xaxim (tree fern). You will also receive a tied plant. Also ideal for planting Terra Base, Biorb Air and Wabikusa.

With its only millimetre-sized flowers, which are olive green and white and have purple spots in the center, this miniature orchid is a beguiling tiny plant. Growing as an epiphyte on trees in the wild, it also prefers to be kept in the terrarium as a mounted plant on Xaxim or bark.
The product photos show examples of the plant. You will receive a specimen that corresponds to the product photos in terms of size, shape and coloring.
- Growth type: Upright
- Origin: Thailand and Vietnam
- Other names: The Three-Flowered Trichoglottis, Saccolabium triflorum

Ben's tips on plant care:

- Location/light requirements: partial shade to light, but avoid direct sunlight
- Substrate: tied up with Ben's Premium Sphagnum moss on Xaxim, roots or branches
- Temperature: optimal at 16-19 °C (day), 14-17 °C (night)
- Watering: Spray when tied up (daily during the growth phase, otherwise every 2-3 days), but allow the plant to dry out well. Only use lukewarm water with a low lime content. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place it in the terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: Fertilize moderately every 2 weeks with diluted orchid fertilizer during the growing season.
- To keep the moisture at its roots, the plant should ideally be tied up with some sphagnum moss.
- Ensure that the terrarium is well ventilated to prevent fungal infestation.
