Stanhopea tricornis is a species from Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. Plants are found on the western slopes of the Andes from northern Colombia to northern Ecuador and have been found from sea level to 1200m.

The plants leaves can grow up to 30cm's long and 35 cm's wide and have 2 flowers that are very fragrant, but short lasting.

Often these are grown in a fur lined basket as the flower spikes push through the bottom of the pot and often dont penetrate a plastic pot.

Ideal conditions are

  • lower light that is filtered,
  • cool to warm locations
  • in a well drained mix that retains water but is not soggy.
