Schoenorchis juncifolia (mount)

Spindly orchid from Borneo and Sumatra. This one wants to stay moist. Long wire leaves that grow downward. Enjoys growing in a pendulous manner and will produce tiny pale pink blooms spiking between the leaves with tiny spurs that makes them look a bit like bean sprouts. Very interesting growth habit when not in bloom.  

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

SCHOENORCHIS CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Mounted with moss.  

Light: Bright indirect. Must be given ample water and humidity for brighter locations. No direct light.

Water: Water frequently in hot months as the media reaches dry. This one likes drying slightly between waterings but doesn't want to stay dry. Enjoys a mild rest period of decreased watering and fertilizing in winter.

Temp: Cool-warm (45F min, 95F max). Prefers warm.

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.
