Chiloschista exuperi [Ghost Orchid]

Chilschista exuperi 

LEAFLESS ORCHID "Thai Ghost Orchid" 

Chiloschista spp. White w/yellow center may produce a few tiny leaves during the summer, but it is typically leafless. The long flower spike can hold up to 30 small, very fragrant flowers similar to vanilla.

Native to SE Asia. They enjoy high humidity and daily water. You do not want to see algae growth and it must dry out between watering. Ghost orchids appreciate non chlorinated water. Use distilled or reverse osmosis water. 

Like most orchids they appreciate good air movement. In nature they do experience a dry winter/early spring. 

Leafless orchids enjoy bright indirect light [2,000-2,500 ft candles] and intermediate temperatures. Does not like temps below 60 deg F. Spring/early summer bloomer. 

Plants are mounted on plastic simulated wood. Chiloschista prefer a hardwood like oak or any other fast drying mount. Meaning, it does NOT retain water like corkwood. [Our opinion. Others grow on cork] 

Blooming Size Plant: Yes  *Blooming size plants- This does not mean you will receive a plant in bud or bloom.
