Orchid not in bloom.
1.7" pot
The Cystorchis stenoglossa is an exceptionally rare jewel orchid prized by advanced collectors for its velvety patterned leaves and delicate white flowers. Native to Southeast Asian cloud forests, this miniature species demands precise conditions: constant 20-26°C temperatures, extremely high humidity (80-95%), and very low light (400-800 lux). Grow exclusively in sealed terrariums with living sphagnum moss over a limestone drainage layer, watering only with distilled or rainwater to maintain perfect leaf texture. While its 1-2cm summer blooms are subtle, the plant's year-round foliage appeal and trophy status make it a holy grail for serious enthusiasts. This slow-growing species may produce only 2-3 new leaves annually, requiring patience and expertise.
Please note that these care instructions are based on general guidelines for Macradenia multiflora and may need adjustments based on your specific growing conditions and observations of your plant's health and behavior.
