Trachoma phillipsii

Trachoma phillipsii

This miniature, monopodial epiphyte, is native to the Philippines, where it is found at elevations around 1000 meters. It has a short, cylindrical stem that carries several oblong to lanceolate, leathery leaves with a clasping base. 

  • Light: Prefers medium to bright, filtered light; protect from direct sun to prevent foliage damage.
  • Temperature: This is a warm to cool-growing species. Maintain temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C). Cooler night temperatures are beneficial to encourage blooming.
  • Humidity: High humidity is essential, ideally 60% to 80%. Provide constant and vigorous air circulation to prevent stagnant conditions, which are particularly harmful in high-humidity environments.
  • Watering: Water consistently throughout the year, keeping the medium evenly moist. Because the flowers are produced successively, the plant does not require a pronounced dry rest period.

Additional Notes

It blooms on a short, few-flowered raceme with fragrant flowers measuring about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch). The flowers open successively, meaning the inflorescence will display new flowers over a period of time.
