    Product Details

    Chiloschista lunifera is a leafless Thai ghost orchid whose flattened green roots do all the photosynthesis. When it blooms, pendant sprays of tiny red-brown flowers edged and lipped in yellow drape from the root mat, carrying a sweet, jasmine-like scent.

    Native to seasonal forests of Thailand, Myanmar and northeast India, Chiloschista species are intermediate to warm growers (58–90°F) that love humidity but must dry between waterings. Keep it mounted on a well-aerated slat in bright, filtered light and mist or water daily in warm weather.

    Blooming size — photos are representative of the plant size and maturity available. Well-rooted plants, many in spike right now.
