Porpax extinctoria (mount)

Porpax (Conchidium) extinctoria (also known as Eria extinctoria) is a super mini orchid from Nepal, Bangladesh, and the neighboring islands. Spring blooming with super tiny white and pink blooms. Very cute cylindrical bulbs that will remain leafless. Blooms emerge from the top of the bulbs.

This is a mature, blooming size plant mounted on plastic placard. Unless otherwise stated, it will not arrive in bloom or spike. 

PORPAX CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Mounted with moss.  

Light: Shaded medium-bright indirect. Must be given ample water and humidity for brighter locations. 

Water: Water frequently in hot months as the media reaches dry. These prefer moist conditions, do not allow them to fully dry out or stay dry for long. Enjoys a mild rest period of decreased watering and fertilizing in winter.

Temp: Intermediate (55F min, 85F max). 

Humidity: 60-80%, prefers medium-high humidity. Ensure good air circulation for terrarium or greenhouse growing.

Fertilizing: 1/4-1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every month as new roots and leaves emerge. Run clean tap water through the growing media once monthly to prevent salt buildup. Light feeders - less is more.
