Stelis congesta (Big)
A floriferous miniature orchid from the cloud forests of Ecuador, forming a lush clump of narrow, lanceolate leaves. It produces densely packed racemes with tightly arranged, rounded flowers with a distinctive iridescent texture. This Big size specimen offers multiple growths and a robust root system, ideal for collectors seeking a more mature, blooming-ready plant.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50ā70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the narrow leaves.
- Temperature: 45ā65°F (7ā18°C); a cool grower that thrives with consistent cool temperatures and good air circulation.
- Humidity: 75ā90%; high humidity is essential ā use a humidifier or place on a humidity tray in drier environments.
- Watering: Water frequently and keep the medium evenly moist; never allow the fine roots to dry out completely between waterings.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a fine bark and sphagnum mix or mounted on cork with moss. Ships bare root, well-established. The Big size includes a larger, multi-growth plant compared to our standard size.
