Rhynchostylis Orchids

Rhynchostylis Orchids are originally from Thailand, Laos, The Philippines and surroundong areas. They are also refered to as 'Foxtail Orchids'

Temperature requirements for Rhynchostylis Orchids: a range of 60 - 80 degrees F .

Humidity requirements for Rhynchostylis Orchids.: 60 to 70 percent humidity is ideal for most species, however they are a tolerant species.

Water : Water when the mix approaches dryness during flowering or spike initiation. When not flowering allow the mix to become just dry between watering.

Repotting:
Repot in the early spring months from March to April using clay pots and a medium grade bark mix. Keep dry after repotting as many of the roots can crack due to their stiff nature.

There are 3 favorite Rhynchostylus spicies:

1. Rhynchostylis retusa

Rhyncostylis coelestis is native to Southeast Asia and can be found in Thailand India and Burma. This plant has a Vanda like growth habit with stiff-folded leaves that curve downwards. The beautiful 2 tone blue flowers emerge in summer and have the fragrance of grapes. The flowers are long lasting and the plant is easy to grow as long as there is enough light.

3. Rhynchostylis gigantea
