    Default Spider Orchid

    Hi all! This is my first time ever to see this kind orchid in the local market, so it is expensive here, and received this as a gift to me. Therefore it is also my first time to take care of this kind of orchid.Name: Picture 362-001.jpg Views: 2096 Size: 116.1 KBName: Picture 370-001.jpg Views: 1000 Size: 116.0 KB I really hope that it will flourish under my care. Any tips? Thanks a lot in advance!

    I've only really started growing these brassia types in the past year. I'm no expert. I put mine in tree fern and so far so good. Very pretty plant you have.

    Great brassia orchid. These require oncidium type care. See this page for some pointers: Oncidium Orchid Care | River Valley Orchidworks
