Native to the Philippines, where it grows as an epiphyte 4600-7250 ft. An astonishing sight in bloom, with flowers twice the size of the typical form of the species, natural spread of over 4 inches. Flowers are paper-white with some pink/purple markings on lip; they appear fragile, but will stay in good condition for 10 days or more if water is kept off the blooms. The name 'papilio' refers to their butterfly-like appearance, suspended in air. |
| Donor's culture notes: |
Temperature range Warm-Intermediate 87-64°F, cooler season Cool-Intermediate 75-58°F. Best grown mounted, in my opinion, because canes become pendent with age, and flowers weigh them down. Intermediate light, good air movement, water daily in growing season, twice a week during winter. Observe root tips - when green, water copiously, when velamen covers tips, water every third day. Regular fertilizer during growing season, fertilize once a month during winter.
Mounted on a hardwood stick, roots exposed, a little inch wood slat basket with small amount of New Zealand sphagnum draped on top where roots meet stick. |
