Liparis rhombea

A terrestrial and lithophytic species from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, forming compact clusters of rhombic pseudobulbs topped by a pair of pleated, elliptic leaves. The slender upright racemes bear numerous small flowers with narrow, reflexed petals and a broad lip.

• Light: Moderate indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); intermediate grower that appreciates cool, stable conditions.
• Humidity: 65–80%; consistent moisture in the air supports healthy foliage and flowering.
• Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist during active growth; reduce slightly during rest but never allow to dry out completely.
