Gastrochilus calceolaris

This epiphytic species is naturally found growing in the evergreen lowland forests or primary montane forests throughout Asia. The long-lasting flowers are waxy and emit a slight fragrance. Remains compact and has a semi-pendant growth habit, so this plant will begin to lean out of its pot over time. This species also grows well when mounted with sphagnum moss over the roots, mimicking its natural growth habit.

Thank you to this photographer for making the flower photo available for public use.
