Pink form of the “The Toothbrush Orchid.”

Grown from seed.

Plants Available: Growing in 4” net pots, blooming-size. Orders will be filled with plants in bud or bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit.

Orchid Care: Similar to Latouria-type Dendrobiums. Provide bright indirect light and strong air circulation. Avoid crowding plants or stagnant conditions in the growing environment, which can lead to leaf spotting. Plants may be grown hanging in baskets or potted with a well draining bark mix. Water generously for most of the year and fertilize weekly. During the cooler months, watering may be halved and fertilization should be reduced. But plants do not require a dry rest. Protect from temperatures below 60F.
