Culture Notes from Donor: Should be grown in a pot containing well-drained humus, and given light to moderate shade.
Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Comments: The species is a close match for the New Guinea species C. orthocentron, which in turn may be nothing more than a small form of C. triplicata. The species is fairly small, with a rosette of 3-6 leaves up to 30 cm long, and an inflorescence up to 50 cm tall. The raceme bears up to 15 well-spaced flowers (not all opening at once) that are white with yellow calli, and have a short hairy spur.
Parent plant: This terrestrial species is common in Central Sulawesi, growing in riverine forest at about 1100 metres altitude. This parent is representative of the plants in the area.
