The Anoectochilus siamensis 'White Center' is an extraordinary jewel orchid cultivar from Thailand, prized for its velvety black leaves with electric-white venation resembling lightning bolts. This ultra-high humidity specialist (85-95% RH) thrives only in sealed terrariums with cool 20-25°C temperatures and distilled water irrigation. Grow in living sphagnum moss over a limestone base, providing minimal light (500-800 lux) to prevent leaf scorch. While its small white flowers are insignificant, the foliage's dramatic contrast makes it a trophy specimen for serious collectors. The 'White Center' mutation is notoriously unstable, with fewer than 5 specialist nurseries worldwide offering true clones. For optimal growth, incorporate mycorrhizal fungi into the growing medium to mimic its natural forest floor habitat.
