Taeniophyllum leucanthum

Also known as: TheWhite Taeniophyllum in the subfamily: Epidendroideae

General Information

TheWhite Taeniophyllum is a leafless orchid belonging to the sub family Epidendroideae.

Care Notes

This orchid is leafless so does best mounted, watering daily during warmer months and not so often during the cool months. Keep humidity high at all times to prevent roots from dying back, and provide gentle airflow to ensure that the roots do not gather mould and rot in cool weather. Because of their velamin coating the roots can withstand plenty of light, however it's best to keep them in the shade during hot weather so that the roots do not overheat.

Potting

Due to the growth nature of these plants they are best mounted onto cork, tree fern slabs, or even trees if the climate suits. Water regularly especially in hot weather.
