A warm-to hot-growing species in the section Polychilos, found at sea level in Myanmar, Thailand, peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra. This species thrives in lower light conditions and typically flowers between spring and fall. The flower spikes are long-lasting and can continue to produce new buds and elongate in subsequent seasons, as well as generate new spikes. We recommend removing older spikes once they fade to pale green or if the plant shows slowed growth from expending too much energy on them. The flowers are sweetly fragrant.
