Stanhopea saccata

Known for its fascinating, richly fragrant flowers, Stanhopea saccata displays the unique characteristic that makes this genus so captivating - flowers that hang or sway below the plant, often resembling hanging baskets filled with intensely scented blooms.

• Light: Bright, indirect light with protection from direct sunlight. Excellent for shaded growing areas that mimic natural forest conditions.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm temperatures with consistent conditions to support healthy growth and flowering.
• Humidity: High humidity levels of 70-85% are essential for optimal development and bloom production.
• Watering: Keep consistently moist with excellent drainage and good air circulation to prevent stagnation around the roots.

Additional Notes:

Must be grown in hanging baskets or mounted to allow the distinctive pendant flowers to emerge and hang freely below the plant. The flowers are exceptionally fragrant and create a spectacular display when in bloom.
