Neobathiea grandidierana Schltr. (1925)








Geographical origin:
 
This epiphytic orchid from North to South Madagascar, where it grows on western slopes at an altitude or 1000-1500m.
It grows in humid forests, on trunks and big branches.
  

Culture :
 
It can be grown in pots provided the medium is very loose and permits good air circulation.
It also grows well mounted, and in my opinion it is better to weel see the flowers shape with its long spur!!
This species thrives Under lower light level and intermediate températures.


In situ, Itremo, Madagascar
