Orchid not in bloom.
The Vandopsis pulcherrima is a breathtaking giant among orchids, producing 60cm+ flower sprays of golden-yellow blooms with burgundy spotting and intense honey fragrance. Thriving in hot, humid conditions (24-32°C) typical of Southeast Asian lowlands, this epiphyte demands daily watering when mounted and bright filtered light (4,000-6,000 lux). Its massive size (reaching 120cm stems) and space requirements make it rare in cultivation, though spectacular in botanical garden settings. Grow bare-root on substantial mounts to accommodate extensive aerial roots, providing weekly fertilisation during active growth. The species name "pulcherrima" (meaning "most beautiful") reflects its status as one of the most impressive vandaceous orchids when in full bloom.
