Description
Encyclia rhynchophora (syn. Hormidium rhynchphorum). Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
This is an interesting little Encyclia found in Mexico and down through Central America, usually at higher altitudes. Each pseudobulb/leaf reaches a height of approx. 12". The 12" flower spikes develop in mid-summer for us and produce 5-8 long-lasting, slender, star-shaped flowers the size of a silver dollar.
Care: Cool-warm temps, bright indirect sunlight, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall with a drier rest period in the winter.
