Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Easy to grow. Fast growing under intermediate to warm conditions. Although Arundina graminifolia can grow in full sun, in Florida, 40%-50% shade makes a better display and healthier plant.
Comments: Parent plant: Large plant. Buds are approximately 2 inches. Arundina graminifolia produces multiple flowers from the same bud spike.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: This terrestrial orchid is widely distributed throughout
India, Sri Lanka, and the southern Himalayan region as well as across many
other parts of China and Southeast Asia to Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands,
southward and eastward through Malaya and Indonesia to Tahiti. Plants have
been found in many locations in Sikkim at 650-3950 ft. (200-1200 m).
Plants are also found in numerous locations in Bhutan and Darjeeling where
they grow in tropical valleys, on dry roadside banks, among bamboo, in hot
mixed forest, on open spaces on hillsides in tall grass, and in scrub
jungle on sandy soil at 650-7100 ft. (200-2160 m). Plants are known to
occur in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. In Vietnam, there
have been many collections reported near Dalat, and this terrestrial,
grasslike orchid is reported to be rather common in the Cao Bang District
where it grows in secondary, medium to tall grasslands at 1000-3950 ft.
(300-1200 m). Plants are found on hillsides in clayey soil made up of
decomposed rocks. Plants are found in almost all parts of Malaya, in the
lowlands and the mountains, but always in open sunny places and never in
the shade of forest. On Sumatra, plants have been reported from every
province at 650-4650 ft. (200-1420 m). Plants are common all over Java at
locations at 1000-6550 ft. (100-2000 m) in areas that experience a short
dry season. On Borneo, plants are found in Kalimantan, Sarawak, and Sabah
where they grow on open grassy areas, on roadside banks and in rocky areas
in and beside rivers from near sea level to 5250 ft. (1600 m). As one
would expect with a species found over such a wide range of distribution
and such a wide range or elevation, growers report that these plants are
easy go grow and flower and will probably adapt to a wide range of
temperatures. In order to give an indication of the probable range of
conditions, climatological data is provided for locations toward the
northern and southern extremes of the area of distribution.
