Trachoma phillipsii
This miniature, monopodial epiphyte, is native to the Philippines, where it is found at elevations around 1000 meters. It has a short, cylindrical stem that carries several oblong to lanceolate, leathery leaves with a clasping base.
- Light: Prefers medium to bright, filtered light; protect from direct sun to prevent foliage damage.
- Temperature: This is a warm to cool-growing species. Maintain temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C). Cooler night temperatures are beneficial to encourage blooming.
- Humidity: High humidity is essential, ideally 60% to 80%. Provide constant and vigorous air circulation to prevent stagnant conditions, which are particularly harmful in high-humidity environments.
- Watering: Water consistently throughout the year, keeping the medium evenly moist. Because the flowers are produced successively, the plant does not require a pronounced dry rest period.
Additional Notes
It blooms on a short, few-flowered raceme with fragrant flowers measuring about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch). The flowers open successively, meaning the inflorescence will display new flowers over a period of time.
