Geographical origin:
Epiphytic orchid, found on the northern tip of Madagascar, on Montagne d'Ambre (Amber Mountain), at around 1000m in altitude, in mossy evergreen forest.
Culture :
Because of its shape, it is better to mount this species on cork slab and to give it daily mistings, intermediate températures and medium to lower light.
You can grow it in pot if you don't have the good conditions for mounted orchids. In that case you must use fine barks with a few chopped sphagnum.
