Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim is established in a 50mm pot.
The photo is an example of this hybrid.
It is a seedling crossed between Papilionanthe hookeriana and teres.
The plants can grow meters tall, while clumping and have a few flowers per inflorescence most of the Summer months. They are a terete style vanda that can tolerate full sun in the tropics once big enough.
They are vigorous in growth and once big enough can be cut and each section will make another plant provided each segment is big enough.
Ideal conditions are
- medium to bright light that is filtered,
- cool to hot locations
- in a well drained mix that dries before it is watered again.
