Rhynchostylis retusa

$35.00

Native to Southeast Asia, this fragrant species is known as the Foxtail Orchid for its spectacular foxtail‑like flower spikes which carry up to 60 tightly clustered white flowers delicately marked with pink.

Grow it in intermediate conditions, with bright, filtered light, good air circulation and high humidity. Water generously when actively grown, reducing water during the cooler months. Grows well in hanging pots or slatted baskets with a coarse, quick draining mix. Can also be grown bare-rooted if you can maintain high humidity.
